Checklist
- Section 115 applies only where the tribunal has ordered a party to pay costs incurred by another party. The legislation that gives the power to make that order was not opened.
- Either party may apply to have the costs taxed if the amount is not agreed. The record does not set the amount.
- The amount ordered is recoverable as a debt. The record does not commence recovery.
- The lawyer confirms the order and writes any application. This is not the costs position on a protection-order proceeding.
