Proposal 60 canvasses giving the court a discretion to adopt the provisional taxation
procedure in relation to bills exceeding $100,000, while giving any party unhappy
with the result a right to require an oral hearing, subject to possible costs sanctions
where nothing significant is achieved at such hearing. There was general support
for this suggestion, with some pointing out that the discretion should obviously not be
exercised in relation to complex taxations after long cases.
