When a judgment on litigation costs becomes final, which body does the provision say the judgment's effect reaches?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In a practice file of this kind, we read the judgment on litigation costs and the paper showing when it became final, and the papers identifying the administrative agency that was the defendant or participant and the State or public organisation it belongs to.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading takes the provision at its word: once a judgment on litigation costs has become final, its effect extends to the State or public organisation that the administrative agency which was the defendant or a participant belongs to, so that parent body is named by that present affiliation rather than being a party to the case.
Another reading notes that the provision speaks of the agency that was the defendant or participant at the time of the case, and says nothing about how that body's affiliation is proved or whether it changed after the case, so the text alone does not show how to identify the parent body in a given file.
Your judgment
Where the agency has been named as defendant, what in the practice file shows which State or public organisation it belongs to?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the provision is amended to change which body the effect reaches or to address an agency whose affiliation changed, or if a court decision explains how the parent body is identified under this provision.
