Law and context

The NI Act provides conditions, limits and consequences for interim compensation, with current judicial interpretation relevant to the court’s exercise of power. It is distinct from final conviction, fine or settlement.

Practical next step

Prepare the complaint, plea or stage record, application, response and any existing order. Reconcile payments already made and seek advice promptly about compliance or a proposed challenge.
