Regulation 4 Wasted costs

A wasted costs order may provide for the whole or any part of the wasted costs to be disallowed or ordered to be paid and the court shall specify the amount of such costs.

Before making a wasted costs order the court shall allow the legal or other representative and any party to the proceedings to make representations.

When making a wasted costs order the court may take into account any other order as to costs in respect of the proceedings and may take the wasted costs order into account when making any such other order.

Where a wasted costs order has been made the court shall notify any interested party benefiting from the order that it has been made and of the amount disallowed or ordered to be paid.
