Article 114 Procedure where detailed assessment required
Before making a detailed assessment of the costs of any person employed in energy supply company administration proceedings by the energy administrator, the costs officer must require a certificate of employment, which must be endorsed on the bill and authenticated by the energy administrator.
The certificate must include—
the name and address of the person employed;
details of the functions to be carried out under the employment; and
a note of any special terms of remuneration which have been agreed.
Every person whose costs in energy supply company administration proceedings are required to be decided by detailed assessment must, on being required in writing to do so by the energy administrator, commence detailed proceedings in accordance with CPR Part 47 (procedure for detailed assessment of costs and default provisions).
If that person does not commence detailed assessment proceedings within 3 months of the requirement under paragraph (3), or within such further time as the court, on application, may permit, the energy administrator may deal with the assets of the energy supply company without regard to any claim by that person, whose claim is forfeited by such failure to commence proceedings.
Where in any such case such a claim lies additionally against an energy administrator in the energy administrator's personal capacity, that claim is also forfeited by such failure to commence proceedings.
Where costs have been incurred in energy supply company administration proceedings in the High Court and those proceedings are subsequently transferred to a county court, all costs of those proceedings directed by the court or otherwise required to be assessed may nevertheless, on the application of the person who incurred the costs, be ordered to be decided by detailed assessment in the High Court.
