Article 128

The party applying for a witness summons may, before the witness summons is granted, and within a period of time to be fixed, have to pay into court such a sum of money as appears to the court to be sufficient to defray the travelling and other expenses of the witness for attendance at court.

In determining the amount payable under sub-Article (1), the court may, in the case of any person summoned to give evidence as an expert, allow reasonable remuneration for the time occupied both in giving evidence and in performing any work necessary for the case.

The sum so paid into court shall be tendered to the witness at such time, in such manner and in such amount as the court shall direct.
