94  Types of costs that may be approved 

 (1) An approval may only cover costs of the following kinds:

 (a) the costs of an eligible person’s legal representation in connection with:

 (i) the proceedings, inquest or inquiry; or

 (ii) responding to the compulsory notice;

 (b) other costs (such as travel costs) related to the person’s involvement in the proceedings, inquest or inquiry, or to the process of responding to the compulsory notice;

 (c) the amount of any award of costs against the person;

 (d) an amount payable by the person in settlement of proceedings; 

 (e) the amount of any damages awarded against, or fines or penalties imposed on, the person.

Note: Of the types of assistance mentioned in this subsection, paragraph (1)(e) is most likely to involve the grant of an indemnity (to which, for a non-corporate Commonwealth entity, section 60 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 may be relevant).

 (2) An approval does not apply to an appeal, or consideration of a possible appeal, unless expressly stated in the approval.
