70 Land Court may award costs
(1)
If—
(a)
a person agrees to attend a section 65 conference but does not attend; and
(b)
someone else does attend (the attending party);
the attending party may apply to the Land Court for an order requiring the person who did not attend to pay the attending party’s reasonable costs.
(2)
If the Land Court orders a person to pay the attending party’s costs, the Land Court must decide the amount of the costs of attending.
(3)
However, the Land Court must not order a person to pay costs if the Land Court is satisfied the person had a reasonable excuse for not attending the conference.
