Rule 187 - Costs of parties having common interest

Costs allocation in winding-up matters: parties with a common interest are generally limited to one collective set of costs or fees.

When two or more petitions or applications raising a common issue are heard together and decided by a common judgment, only one set of costs is allowed to all parties with a common interest unless the Tribunal otherwise orders; similarly, where different parties in the same proceeding have a common interest, only one set of fees is allowed to them collectively even if represented by different authorised representatives, subject to the Tribunal's discretion.
