Article 145 Cost of proceedings under section 236

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 has been unjustifiably refused by the respondent, it may order that the costs of the examination by paid by the respondent.

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 energy supply company.

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