(1) Where the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court dismisses an application for leave to appeal, the Court concerned may, if it thinks fit—
(a) where the application was made by the relevant applicant authority, order the payment by the Secretary of State to the subject of the serious crime prevention order or a party under section 24(2) of such sums as appear to the Court concerned reasonably sufficient to compensate the person concerned for any expenses properly incurred by that person in resisting the application;
(b) where the application was made by the subject of the serious crime prevention order, order that person to pay the whole or any part of the costs of the application; or
(c) where the application was made by a party under section 24(2), order that person to pay the whole or any part of the costs of the application.
(2) Where an appeal to the Supreme Court is determined in favour of the subject of the serious crime prevention order or a party under section 24(2), the Supreme Court may, if it thinks fit, order the payment by the Secretary of State of such sums as appear to the Supreme Court reasonably sufficient to compensate the person concerned for any expenses properly incurred by that person in the appeal to the Supreme Court or in the proceedings before the Court of Appeal, as the case may be (including the cost of any application for leave to appeal).
(3) Where in any proceedings on an appeal or application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court, an interpreter is required because of the lack of English of the subject of a serious crime prevention order or a party under section 24(2), the expenses properly incurred on the interpreter’s employment shall be defrayed by the Secretary of State up to an amount allowed by the Supreme Court.
(4) Except as provided by this article, no costs shall be allowed on the hearing or determination of an appeal or of any proceedings preliminary or incidental to such an appeal.
