Paragraph 11

Subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, the costs of the district valuer in determining the dispute shall be borne in equal shares by the applicant and the landlord.

Where it appears to the district valuer that the applicant or the landlord has behaved unreasonably in presenting his or its case, by failing to comply with any of the time limits in this Schedule or otherwise, he may order the applicant and the landlord to bear such costs in whatever proportion seems to him appropriate.

Any costs which are to be borne by one of the parties under this paragraph may be recovered from that party by the district valuer as a simple contract debt.
