In all proceedings before the Court under this Act the costs of the Registrar shall be in the discretion of the Court, but in any proceedings in England or Northern Ireland, the Registrar shall not, except in accordance with the provisions of subsection (2) of this section in a case in which he has appeared in the proceedings, be ordered to pay the costs of any other of the parties.

Where the Registrar appears in any proceedings before the Court in England or Northern Ireland under this Act, section seven of the M1Administration of Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1933, or any corresponding enactment which may be passed by the Parliament of Northern Ireland, as the case may be, shall have effect as it has effect in relation to other proceedings to which the Crown is a party in a court having the power to award costs in cases between subjects.
