67C  Costs

 (1) A person (the first person) must bear the person’s own costs in relation to:

 (a) an application under subsection 82(1) of the Regulatory Powers Act, to the extent that Part 4 of that Act relates to this Part; or

 (b) an application under subsection 121(1) or (2) of the Regulatory Powers Act, to the extent that Part 7 of that Act relates to this Part.

 (2) However, the court hearing that application may make an order under this subsection that the first person bear some or all of the costs of another person in relation to the application if:

 (a) the court is satisfied that the first person made the application, or the first person responded to the application, vexatiously or without reasonable cause; or

 (b) the court is satisfied that the first person’s unreasonable act or omission caused the other person to incur the costs; or

 (c) the court is satisfied that it should have been reasonably apparent to the first person that the first person’s application, or the first person’s response to the application, had no reasonable prospect of success.
