Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations (1) Before making an
order for costs against a lawyer or other person who is not a party to a case,
the court must give the lawyer or other person a reasonable opportunity to be
heard.
(2) If a party who is
represented by a lawyer is not present when an order is made that costs are to
be paid by the party or the party’s lawyer, the party’s lawyer
must give the party written notice of the order and an explanation of the
reason for the order.
