Human Rights Review Tribunal - Procedure of Tribunal

125: Costs of appeal

You could also call this:

"Who pays the costs when you appeal a decision"

Illustration for Human Rights Act 1993

You can appeal a decision under section 123. The High Court can decide who pays the costs of the appeal. The court will usually make the person who loses the appeal pay the costs, but it can make a different decision if it wants to. The court's decision about costs will depend on the outcome of the appeal, unless the court says otherwise, and this is related to an appeal under section 123.
