Regulation 6 Reimbursement of fees

Subject to paragraph (2), in relation to any appeal or application in respect of which a fee is payable under regulation 3, a tribunal may require any party to the appeal or application to reimburse any other party to the extent of the whole or part of any fee paid by the party in respect of the appeal or application.

A tribunal must not require a party to make such reimbursement if, at the time the tribunal is considering whether or not to do so, the tribunal is satisfied that the party or the party’s partner is in receipt of assistance of any description mentioned in regulation 5(2).
