8. For the avoidance of doubt the Claimant shall repay to the Defendant within 14 days of the Registrar certifying the amount (if any) payable by her in respect of costs (following assessment and set-off) ("the Defendant's net costs") a sum equal to the amount (if any) by which the defendant's net costs exceeds the sum to be paid to the Defendant under paragraph 7 of this Order.
