Section 2.1 - Purpose
The act provides for the award of fees and other expenses to eligible individuals and entities who are parties to certain administrative proceedings initiated by Commonwealth agencies. An eligible party may receive an award, except as otherwise provided or prohibited by law, when it prevails over an agency, unless the agency's position in the proceeding was substantially justified or special circumstances make an award unjust. This subchapter describes how to apply for awards and the procedures for initiating payment. The guidelines and standard procedures contained in this subchapter are to apply unless specifically modified by an agency in accordance with § 2.9 (relating to agency rules).
This section citied in 4 Pa. Code § 2.11 (relating to statements of policy).
