representative of any person, a party to such agreement, or being or alleged
to be liable to pay, or being or claiming to be entitled to be paid, the
costs, fees, charges, or disbursements in respect of which the agreement is
made by the court in which the business, or any part thereof, was done, or a
judge thereof, or if the business was not done in any court, then where the
amount payable under the agreement exceeds [#2,000], by any superior court of
law or equity or a judge thereof, and where such amount does not exceed
