SECTION IVAdditional rules

F2Orders to limit the recoverable costs of an appeal – appeals in Aarhus Convention claims52.19A

1

In this rule, “Aarhus Convention claim” and “prohibitively expensive” have the same meanings as in Section VII of Part 45, and “claimant” means a claimant to whom rules 45.43 to 45.45 apply.

2

In an appeal against a decision made in an Aarhus Convention claim to which rules 45.43 to 45.45 apply, the court must—

a

consider whether the costs of the proceedings will be prohibitively expensive for a party who was a claimant; and

b

if they will be, make an order limiting the recoverable costs to the extent necessary to prevent this.

3

When the court considers the financial resources of a party for the purposes of this rule, it must have regard to any financial support which any person has provided or is likely to provide to that party.
