Costs
51ZS Costs
On a review or appeal, VCAT or the Supreme Court (as the case requires) may make an order as to the payment of costs, or no order as to the payment of costs, as it thinks appropriate.
In determining any questions concerning costs, VCAT or the Supreme Court may take into consideration the following factors, as appropriate—
the extent of any adjustment to the assessment made by VCAT or the Court;
any unreasonable conduct on the part of any party—
during the objection process; or
during the review or appeal;
the failure of a party to give adequate information or supply supporting material when permitted or required to do so.
The Supreme Court may make an order with respect to the assessment of costs in the same manner as it may in respect of any other matter before the Court.
Note
Section 111 of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 1998 provides for the assessment of costs in VCAT proceedings.
