  "heading": "Orders to limit the recoverable costs of an appeal – appeals in Aarhus Convention claims",
  "text": "(1) In this rule, “Aarhus Convention claim” and “prohibitively expensive” have the same meanings as in Section IX of Part 46, and “claimant” means a claimant to whom rules 46.26 to 46.28 apply.\n(2) In an appeal against a decision made in an Aarhus Convention claim to which rules 46.26 to 46.28 apply, the court must—\n(a) consider whether the costs of the proceedings will be prohibitively expensive for a party who was a claimant; and\n(b) if they will be, make an order limiting the recoverable costs to the extent necessary to prevent this.\n(3) When the court considers the financial resources of a party for the purposes of this rule, it must have regard to any financial support which any person has provided or is likely to provide to that party.",
