Upon an application under section 9, where it appears to the court that the contingency fee agreement is fair and reasonable, the court may enforce the contingency fee agreement by order in such manner and subject to such conditions as to the costs of the application as the court thinks fit.
Where the terms of the contingency fee agreement are determined by the court to be invalid, unfair or unreasonable, the contingency fee agreement or the part of the contingency fee agreement determined invalid, unfair or unreasonable may be declared void, and the court may order that the contingency fee agreement or the part of the contingency fee agreement deemed invalid, unfair or unreasonable be cancelled and may direct the fees and disbursements incurred or chargeable in respect of the matters included therein to be taxed on the indemnity basis if not agreed.
