" Notes
1. Transcripts of evidence will be made only on directions from the court, and the cost of them in defended causes will, in the first instance, be payable by the solicitors for the parties in equal proportions. The daily transcripts of evidence shall be made only if all compearing parties consent. When an undefended cause is continued, or where for other reasons the court considers it necessary that transcripts be made for the use of the court and so directs, the cost will be borne by the solicitor for the pursuer in the first instance. In any cause where transcripts have not been made but are required for a reclaiming motion, the solicitor for the reclaimer may request that they be made; and when they are thus available they will be lodged in court, the cost of transcription being payable in the first instance by the solicitor for the reclaimer.

2. In any cause where the court, on a motion enrolled for the purpose, certifies that there is reasonable ground for reclaiming and that the reclaimer is unable, for financial reasons, to meet the cost of the necessary transcription from which copies for the use of the Inner House are made, the cost of such transcription will be paid out of public funds.".
