# The Civil Procedure Rules 1998, Rule 52.19A: Orders to limit the recoverable costs of an appeal – appeals in Aarhus Convention claims


(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.
(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—
(a) consider whether the costs of the proceedings will be prohibitively expensive for a party who was a claimant; and
(b) if they will be, make an order limiting the recoverable costs to the extent necessary to prevent this.
(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.
