Appeals

147ZE: Costs

You could also call this:

“Who pays for the costs when you appeal a decision”

When you appeal a decision under section 147ZA, the District Court can decide who pays for the costs of the appeal. The court might tell the Board to pay your costs, or they might tell you to pay the Board’s costs. This depends on what the court thinks is fair in your case.
