You could also call this:

"Claiming back money spent on court costs when enforcing a judgment"

Illustration for Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013

When you are trying to get a court to enforce a judgment that has been registered, you can claim back some costs. You can claim the reasonable costs of getting and lodging a copy of the judgment. You can also claim the costs of trying to enforce the judgment in the court where it was made.

If you are involved in a court case about enforcing a judgment, the rules about who pays the costs are the same as they would be if the judgment was made by the High Court. This means that who pays the costs will be decided in the same way as it would be for a similar judgment made by the High Court. If there is no similar judgment, the court will look at the most similar type of judgment made by the High Court to decide who pays the costs, you can find more information about this by looking at the relevant legislation.
