Clause 42
Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill
3:00 pm
Henry Bellingham (Shadow Minister, Constitutional Affairs; North West Norfolk, Conservative)
I shall be brief. I mentioned vexatious applicants earlier, when we discussed the section relating to costs and expenses. I presume that I ought to have raised that point under clause 44, but I seek clarification that the judge can award costs against a vexatious applicant. The clause mentions fees, which are presumably fees that can be charged to applicants. Will the Minister clarify that?
