Fees payable on exaggerated claim

31.-(1) Where the amount awarded by the Tribunal in any case is less than two-thirds of the amount of compensation claimed the claimant shall pay to the Tribunal as fees, in addition to the fees payable under Appendix C, a sum equivalent to the remuneration payable to the members of the Tribunal other than the President, as determined by the Chief Justice with the approval of the Governor. Such fees may be directed by the President or the Tribunal to be deducted by the Acquiring Authority from the amount of compensation awarded, before payment thereof to the claimant, and to be paid to the registrar:

Provided that, where a reference, appeal or application is withdrawn or settled before the decision of the Tribunal is given, the Tribunal may, in its discretion, direct that the whole or part of such fees shall not be paid by the claimant.

(3) If the claimant shall fail to file with the Tribunal a written statement of the amount claimed by him giving sufficient particulars as provided by these Rules or directed by the President, the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Rule shall apply as if the amount awarded by the Tribunal had been less than two-thirds of the amount of compensation claimed.
