Can the Tribunal award costs?
The Tribunal has no power to award costs. You will therefore have to meet your own expenses (and those of any representative) in preparing the case and attending the hearing i.e. travelling costs to the Tribunal Hearing etc. There is currently no provision for Legal Aid with regard to the Tribunal proceedings, although advice may be obtained from some solicitors under the green form scheme.
