|
|
| |
(b) that, in accordance with the law of the Contracting State in which the judgment was given, interest on that sum is recoverable under the judgment at a particular rate or rates and from a particular date or time,
|
|
| |
the order, if made, shall provide that the person by whom that sum is payable shall also be liable to pay that interest, apart from any interest or costs recoverable by virtue of subsection (2), in accordance with the particulars noted in the order, and the amount of the interest shall be recoverable by the applicant concerned as if it was part of the sum.

|
|
| |
(3) A person by whom costs recoverable by virtue of subsection (2) are payable shall be liable to pay interest on the costs as if they were the subject of an order for the payment of costs made by the High Court on the date of the making of the relevant order.
|
|
| |
(4) Interest shall be payable on a sum referred to in subsection (1) only as provided for in this section.
