The Department may, in the case of a person from whom an amount is recoverable under regulation 8, recover the outstanding amount (subject to regulation 9(1)(d)) by means of court action taken under this regulation.

The outstanding amount is, if a county court so orders, recoverable as if it were payable under an order of the court.

Any costs of the Department in recovering the outstanding amount under this regulation may be recovered by the Department as if those costs were themselves part of the outstanding amount.
