EXPLANATORY NOTE
The object of this Rule is to increase the amounts payable, in relation to costs and disbursements, under the scale of costs fixed by the Victims Compensation Rule 1988. The increases are generally in the order of 10%, corresponding to a similar increase in the Consumer Price Index that has occurred since the amounts were last varied. The Rule also updates a cross-reference to the provision of the Victims Compensation Act 1987 under which the scale of costs is fixed.
