A contingency fee agreement does not affect the amount, or any right or remedy for the recovery, of any costs recoverable from a client by any other person, or payable to a client by any other person, and any such other person may require costs payable or recoverable by the person to or from the client to be taxed in the ordinary manner, unless such person has agreed otherwise.
Notwithstanding subsection (1), the client who has entered into the contingency fee agreement is not entitled to recover from any other person under any order for the payment of costs made in the proceedings to which the contingency fee agreement relates, any amount more than the amount payable by the client to the client's own attorney-at-law under the contingency fee agreement.
In calculating the amount of costs for the purposes of making an award of costs, a court shall not reduce the amount of costs only because the client's attorney-at-law is being compensated in accordance with a contingency fee agreement.
