- Court
- District Court
Where a Review Officer awards costs to an unsuccessful applicant the decision should expressly indicate the applicant acted reasonably; furthermore, under regs 3 and 8 an award for representation requires evidence the applicant paid or is obliged to pay the representative. Absent such evidence the costs award was unjustified and must be set aside.
