24—Amendment of section 210—Powers on appeal
Section 210—after subsection (2) insert:
(3) In connection with
the operation of subsection (2)—
(a)
costs need not follow the event; and
(b) the
Full Commission, in considering whether to award costs and, if so, the extent
of the award, must take into account—
(i)
the conduct of the parties; and
(ii)
the relevant positions and circumstances of the appellant
and the respondent (and of the successful and unsuccessful parties); and
(iii)
the nature of the question in dispute and whether the
proceedings have a broader impact than simply inter-parte proceedings between
individual parties,
and may take into account such other matters as the Full Commission thinks fit
in order to ensure a just outcome in the circumstances of the case.
