What property is not subject to the charge?
Section 33(8)(a)
The person’s normal place of residence is excluded from the process of recovering costs. “The normal place of residence” is considered to mean the applicant’s normal place of residence before the proceedings or dispute took
place. A person may at any one time have more than one normal place of residence. It doesn’t have to be a “family home” as defined in other legislation. But if the family home is sold, the proceeds are in principle subject to the charge. It is possible to apply for a waiver (we will deal with this later in this Part).
