Subsections (6) and (7) provide that, where a case involves an appeal against a decision made by a LVT, the Lands Tribunal cannot make an award of costs against a party to proceedings unless that party has acted frivolously, vexatiously, abusively, disruptively or otherwise unreasonably in connection with the appeal.  The maximum costs will be limited to £500, or such other amount as may be specified in regulations.
