Dispute Resolution Centres Regulation 2019 (QLD)

Dispute Resolution Centres Regulation 2019

1   Short title

This regulation may be cited as the Dispute Resolution Centres Regulation 2019.

2   Commencement

This regulation commences on 2 September 2019.

3   Fees for particular commercial services of dispute resolution centres

The fees payable for commercial services provided by a dispute resolution centre, other than commercial services provided to a member of the public, are stated in schedule 1.

4   Rounding of amounts expressed as numbers of fee units

(1)This section applies for working out the amount of a fee expressed in this regulation as a number of fee units.

(2)For the purpose of the Acts Interpretation Act 1954, section 48C(3), the amount is to be rounded to the nearest multiple of 10 cents (rounding one-half upwards).

Example—

Schedule 1, item 2(a) prescribes a fee of 156.20 fee units. If the value of a fee unit for this regulation were $1.25, the number of dollars obtained by multiplying $1.25 by 156.20 would be $195.25. Because $195.25 is halfway between $195.20 and $195.30, it is rounded upwards, so the amount of the fee for schedule 1, item 2(a) would be $195.30.
