s 123 Advocate and solicitor entitled to charge on property for costs
Any court in which an advocate and solicitor has been employed to prosecute or defend any suit, matter or proceeding may at any time declare the advocate and solicitors entitled to a charge on the property recovered or preserved in such suit, matter or proceeding for such advocate and solicitor’s taxed costs in reference to that suit, matter or proceeding, and may make such orders for the taxation of the costs and for raising money to pay, or for paying, the costs out of the property as it thinks fair and reasonable, and all conveyance and acts done to defeat, or operating to defeat, that charge shall, except in the case of a conveyance to a bona fide purchaser for value without notice, be void as against the advocate and solicitor: Provided that no order shall be made if the right to recover the costs is barred by the Limitation Act, 1953 [Act 254].
