Once the costs are paid, a receipt of payment of costs shall be filed on the record of this Court. Needless to clarify that if the costs are not paid within the aforesaid period, this Notice of Motion shall stand dismissed without further reference to the Court.
5 The Notice of Motion is disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
