The Courts have inherent power to grant an order as to costs in favour of the successful litigant such costs generally, being attorneys' fees and disbursements or expenses. These are invariably awarded, in terms of the Rules governing procedure in the Courts, to the successful litigant on a scale prescribed by tariff. In certain cases, to express its displeasure at the manner in which a litigant has conducted itself, the Court may award punitive legal costs on a higher scale.
