(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order modifies the time limit within which costs incurred by the Competition Commission (or costs which the Competition Commission orders one party to pay to the other) in connection with the determination of appeals under section 173 of the Energy Act 2004 must be paid. That section, together with the Electricity and Gas Appeals (Designation and Exclusion) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/1646), provides a right of appeal from a decision of the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority modifying certain codes (including the Balancing and Settlement Code, the Connection and Use of System Code and the Uniform Network Code) which play a prominent role in the regulation of the gas and electricity sectors. Article 2 extends the period within which costs must be paid from five to twenty-eight days beginning with the day after the making of a costs order by the Competition Commission.
