HIGH COURT RULES (AMENDMENT) 1992 NO. 85

STATUTORY RULES 1992 No. 85

Issued by the authority of the Justices of the High Court of Australia

The fees payable with respect to the filing of documents in, and charges for services provided by, the Offices of the Registry are presently set forth in the Third Schedule to the High Court Rules. Various rules in Order 72 govern the taking of the fees and charges, and provide a mechanism whereby fees may be reduced or remitted for financial hardship.

In accordance with the policy that the Executive should fix Court fees, the High Court of Australia (Fees) Regulations 1991 and the Schedule thereto will, from 1 April 1992, govern fees payable for the filing of documents in, and the obtaining of documents or services from, the various Offices of the Registry of the High Court.

The amendments, repeal the Third Schedule, and the various rules in Order 72 of the High Court Rules relating to fees and

charges which become redundant on the commencement of the Regulations, and transfer an administrative procedure relating to taxing fees from the Third Schedule to the Costs Order, order 71 of the Rules.
