(1) An assessor may:
(a) be remunerated as determined by the court; and
(b) be paid by the court, or a party or other person, as ordered by the court.
(2) The court may order a party or other person to pay, or give security for payment of, the assessor's remuneration before the assessor is appointed to assist the court.
Note: To reduce cost and delay, parties are encouraged to make admissions in relation to facts and documents. The admission is for the purposes of the proceeding only, in order to narrow the issues in dispute. A party should give the other party written notice of any admissions as early as practicable in the proceeding. For example, if admissions are made before the disclosure process, disclosure may be able to be limited and the costs of the proceeding reduced.
