You could also call this:

"Paying for the Commission's expenses when they make a decision"

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

When the Commission makes a decision or looks at an application for a decision, you have to pay for their costs. This includes the cost of getting expert advice. The Commission decides how to split the costs between the people involved. The Commission's costs for some types of decisions can be paid in different ways. You can pay the costs as decided by the Commission, or by a levy under section 11, or by a combination of both ways.
