§ 1240.24 Costs and Disbursements

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

When a lawyer faces disciplinary proceedings in New York, someone has to pay for the costs involved in running that process. This can include expenses from the agency handling the case, any committee involved, or an attorney appointed to help with the proceeding.

The rule doesn't set new payment terms. Instead, it points to an existing law, Judiciary Law §90(6), which spells out exactly how these costs get covered. That law is the actual source for the payment rules and who ends up responsible for the bill.

For someone going through this process, the main thing to know is that disciplinary proceedings have real costs attached to them. If you want to understand exactly who pays what, you would need to look at Judiciary Law §90(6) directly, since that's where the specific payment details live.
