Summary
In a supplementary decision to O/046/07, the hearing officer made no further order. He did not accept the claimants’ contention that maintenance and vesting costs remained outstanding under the guise of “renewal fees”, thinking them to have misunderstood the terms of his order in O/046/07, and he considered the defendants to have met the terms of that order. However he observed that the enforcement of costs awarded by the comptroller was a matter for the courts under section 107(2).
