Regulation 12 Time limits

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

Subject to paragraph (2), the time limit within which there must be made or instituted—

(a)

a claim for costs by an applicant under regulation 6, an application for a redetermination under regulation 9, or a request for an appropriate authority to give reasons for its decision on a redetermination under regulation 9;

(b)

an appeal to a taxing master under regulation 10 or an application for a certificate under regulation 11; or

(c)

an appeal to the High Court under regulation 11;

may, for good reason, be extended by the appropriate authority, the Chief Taxing Master or the High Court, as the case may be.

(2)

Where an applicant without good reason has failed (or, if an extension were not granted, would fail) to comply with a time limit, the appropriate authority, the Chief Taxing Master or the High Court, as the case may be, may, in exceptional circumstances, extend the time limit.

(3)

An applicant may appeal to the Chief Taxing Master against a decision made under this regulation by an appropriate authority in respect of proceedings other than proceedings before a magistrates' court and such an appeal shall be instituted within 21 days of the decision being given by giving notice in writing to the Chief Taxing Master specifying the grounds of appeal.
