Regulation 150 The Commons Commissioners

In this regulation, “a commissioner” means a Commons Commissioner appointed under section 17(1) of the Commons Registration Act 1965^f1.

Except in so far as otherwise provided by this regulation, these Regulations shall apply to applications for legal aid for proceedings before a commissioner and to the conduct of all proceedings before him for which a certificate is granted, in the same way as they apply to applications for legal aid for, and the conduct of, proceedings in any court.

Where any power to do any act or exercise any jurisdiction or discretion is conferred on a court by these Regulations, it shall, in relation to proceedings before a commissioner, be exercised by him.

The costs of an assisted person in respect of proceedings before a commissioner shall be taxed (or assessed) as if they were costs of proceedings in a county court.
