The costs of all conveyances of the land subject to compulsory purchase shall be borne by the acquiring authority.
The costs shall include all charges and expenses, whether incurred on the part of the seller or on the part of the purchaser,—
(a) of all conveyances and assurances of any of the land, and of any outstanding terms or interests in the land, and
(b) of deducing, evidencing and verifying the title to the land, terms or interests, and
(c) of making out and furnishing such abstracts and attested copies as the acquiring authority may require,
and all other reasonable expenses incident to the investigation, deduction and verification of the title.
If the acquiring authority and the person entitled to any such costs do not agree as to the amount of the costs, the costs shall be taxed by a Master of the Senior Courts on an order of the court obtained by either of the parties.
The acquiring authority shall pay what the Master certifies to be due in respect of the costs to the person entitled and, in default, that amount may be recovered in the same way as any other costs payable under an order of the Senior Courts.
The expense of taxing the costs shall be borne by the acquiring authority unless on the taxation one-sixth of the amount of the costs is disallowed, and in that case the costs of the taxation shall be borne by the party whose costs have been taxed; and the amount thereof shall be ascertained by the Master and deducted by him accordingly in his certificate of taxation.
