Article 152 Costs of proceedings under section 236I1

Where the court has ordered an examination of a person under section 236, and it appears to it that the examination was made necessary because information had been unjustifiably refused by the respondent, it may order that the costs of the examination be paid by him.

Where the court makes an order against a person under section 237(1) or (2) of the 1986 Act (court’s enforcement powers under section 236), the costs of the application for the order may be ordered by the court to be paid by the respondent.

Subject to paragraphs (1) and (2) above, the energy administrator’s costs shall, unless the court otherwise orders, be paid out of the assets of the protected energy company.

A person summoned to attend for examination under this Part shall be tendered a reasonable sum in respect of travelling expenses incurred in connection with his attendance. Other costs falling on him are at the court’s discretion.
