(a) that:
(i) the lawyer or paid agent caused costs to be incurred by the other party to the matter because the lawyer or paid agent encouraged the person to start or continue the matter; and
(ii) it should have been reasonably apparent that the person had no reasonable prospect of success in the matter; or
(b) that the lawyer or paid agent caused costs to be incurred by the other party to the matter because of an unreasonable act or omission of the lawyer or paid agent in connection with the conduct or continuation of the matter.
(2) FWA may make an order under this section only if the other party to the matter has applied for it in accordance with section 402.
