The principal Act is amended by substituting for section 125

the following section:

The Court may authorize, before the expiry of thirty days from the date of delivery of the bill of costs, an advocate and solicitor or a limited liability law partnership to commence an action for recovery of costs and also refer the bill for taxation by the Registrar if there is proof that any party chargeable—

intends to leave Malaysia;

has a bankruptcy order made against him;

has compounded with his creditors; or

has taken any other steps or done any other act which in the opinion of the court would defeat or delay the advocate and solicitor or limited liability law partnership in obtaining payment.”.
