HOUSE OF LORDS COSTS TAXATION ACT 1849 - SECT 2

Parliamentary agent or solicitor not to sue for costs in relation to private bill in the House of Lords until one month after delivery of his bill.

2. No parliamentary agent ... or solicitor, nor any executor, administrator,
or assignee of any parliamentary agent ... or solicitor, shall commence or
maintain any action or suit for the recovery of any costs, charges, or
expenses in respect of any proceedings in the House of Lords in any future
session of Parliament relating to any petition for a private bill, or private
bill, or in respect of complying with the standing orders of the said House
relative thereto, or in preparing, bringing in, and carrying the same through,
or opposing the same in, the House of Lords, until the expiration of one month
after such parliamentary agent, ... or solicitor or executor, administrator,
or assignee of such parliamentary agent ... or solicitor, has delivered unto
the party to be charged therewith, or sent by post to or left for him at his
counting-house, office of business, dwelling-house, or last known place of
abode, a bill of such costs, charges, and expenses, and which bill shall
either be subscribed with the proper hand of such parliamentary agent ... or
solicitor, or in the case of a partnership by any of the partners, either with
his own name or with the name of such partnership, or of the executor,
administrator, or assignee of such parliamentary agent ... or solicitor, or be
enclosed in or accompanied by a letter subscribed in like manner referring to
such bill: Provided always, that it shall not in any case be necessary, in the
first instance, for such parliamentary agent ... or solicitor, or the
executor, administrator, or assignee of such parliamentary agent ... or
solicitor, in proving a compliance with this Act, to prove the contents of the
bill delivered, sent, or left by him, but it shall be sufficient to prove that
a bill of costs, charges, and expenses, subscribed in manner aforesaid, or
enclosed in or accompanied by such letter as aforesaid, was delivered, sent or
left, in manner aforesaid, but nevertheless it shall be competent for the
other party to show that the bill so delivered, sent, or left was not such a
bill as constituted a bona8 fide compliance with this Act: Provided also, that
it shall be lawful for any judge of the superior courts of law or equity in
... Ireland, ... to authorize a parliamentary agent ... or solicitor to
commence an action or suit for the recovery of his costs, charges, and
expenses against the party chargeable therewith, although one month has not
expired from the delivery of a bill as aforesaid, on proof to the satisfaction
of the said judge that there is probable cause for believing that such party
is about to quit that part of the United Kingdom in which such judge hath
jurisdiction.
