CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE.

650.-(1) Where, at any time during the prosecution of a judgment or order, it appears to the court, with respect to the whole or any portion of the proceedings, that the interests of the parties can be classified, the court may require the parties constituting each or any class to be represented by the same solicitor, and may direct what parties may attend all or any part of the proceedings.

(2) Where the parties constituting any class cannot agree upon the solicitor to represent them, the court may nominate such solicitor for the purpose of the proceedings before it.

(3) Where any one of the parties constituting such class declines to authorise the solicitor so nominated to act for him, and insists upon being represented by a different solicitor, such party shall personally pay the costs of his own solicitor of and relating to the proceedings before the court, with respect to which the nomination has been made, and all such further costs as may be occasioned to any of the parties by his being represented by a different solicitor from the solicitor so nominated.

651. Whenever in any proceeding in chambers the same solicitor is employed for two or more parties, the court may, in its discretion, require that any of the said parties shall be represented before it by a separate solicitor, and adjourn such proceedings until such party is so represented.

652. Any of the parties other than those who have been directed to attend may attend at their own expense, and on paying the costs, if any, occasioned by such attendance, or, if they think fit, they may apply by summons for liberty to attend at the expense of the estate or to have the conduct of the action, either in addition to or in substitution for any of the parties who have been directed to attend.

653. An order shall be drawn up, on a summons to be taken out by the plaintiff or the party having the conduct of the action, stating the parties who have been directed to attend and such of them, if any, as have elected to attend at their own expense, and such order shall be recited in the Registrar's certificate.
