Costs in pro Bono Proceedings
Where a litigant is represented in civil proceedings on a pro bono basis, it would be contrary to the indemnity principle to award costs to that person. Section 194 allows the court to order a payment to a charity in lieu. These provisions come into force progressively from 30 June to 1 October 2008.
