AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY SUPREME COURT (FEES) REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)
Paragraph 29(a) of the Australian Capital Territory Supreme Court Act 1933 provides that the Governor-General may make regulations prescribing the fees or other payments to be paid to officers of the Court in respect of proceedings in the Court or of the service or execution of the process of the Court by officers of the Court.
Sub-regulation 2(1) of the Australian Capital Territory Supreme Court (Fees) Regulations provides that, subject to regulation 2, the fees payable are as specified in the Schedule to the Regulations. Regulation 1 repeals the Schedule to the Australian Capital Territory Supreme Court (Fees) Regulations and substitutes a new Schedule specifying new fees, increased by 25 percent. Those fees apply in relation to any filing done, request for a copy of a document made, copy of a document furnished in accordance with a request made, or service of process requested, on or after 4 October 1982 (Regulation 2).
