Reimbursement of representative party’s costs
33 Reimbursement of representative party’s costs
If the Court is satisfied, on application by a person who is or has been the representative party or a sub‑group representative party for a representative proceeding, that the costs reasonably incurred by the person in relation to the proceeding are likely to exceed the costs recoverable by the person from the respondent, the Court may order that an amount equal to the whole or a part of the excess be paid to the person out of damages awarded in the proceeding.
An order cannot be made under this section unless the Court has made an award of damages in the proceeding.
On an application for an order under this section the Court may also make any other order it thinks just.
