(2) An order under this section may be made— (a) on the application of— (i) any party to the civil proceeding; or (ii) any other person who, in the opinion of the court, has a sufficient interest in the proceeding; or (b) on the court's own motion. (3) This section does not limit any other power of a court to make any order, including any order as to costs. 30 Applications for orders under section 29 (1) An application for an order under section 29 is to be made— (a) in the court in which the civil proceeding was, or is being, heard; and (b) in accordance with the rules of court. (2) An application for an order under section 29 must be made prior to the finalisation of the civil proceeding to which the application relates (excluding any period for appeals). (3) For the purposes of subsection (2), if an order, including an order in respect of costs, is made after the date of finalisation of the civil proceeding to which the application relates, the date of making of the last of the orders is taken to be the date of finalisation of that proceeding.
