The Authority may order payment directly to a lay advocate as covering the appellant's costs, but the quantum should be an identifiable figure capable of orthodox calculation and provided by the appellant or advocate (invoice, time record or claim); estimating and directing payment without such information was an error requiring remittal for reconsideration with appropriate information.
