Costs


(1) If a recount does not alter the result of the vote so as to affect the return, the judge shall


(a) order the costs of the candidate for whom the largest number of votes have been cast to be paid by the person who applied for the recount; and


(b) tax those costs, following as closely as possible the tariff of costs allowed with respect to proceedings in the court in which the judge ordinarily presides.
