(3) Without limiting subsection (2), the Rules may specify modifications regarding how this Part applies in relation to a liability under an order of a court requiring an amount to be paid pending the outcome of an appeal, including modifications: (a) to deal with what happens if, as a result of the appeal or another appeal, the amount paid later becomes wholly or partly repayable; and (b) to deal with what happens if the amount paid is later applied towards a liability that is confirmed as a result of the appeal or another appeal.
