			(iii)	where the amount in dispute is $2,000 or less or where no amount is 				in dispute (if under Part XXII of the Act).	$ 39.00	
	Explanatory Note:	This item sets the fees for instituting a proceeding before the Magistrates 				Court (including small claims proceedings commenced under Part XXII of 				the Magistrates Court (Civil Jurisdiction) Act 1982).  Last Financial Year 				the Fees were $333.00, $96.00, and $38.00 respectively.		
177	On lodging an application for the review of a decision with the Administrative Appeals Tribunal under:		
			(i)	section 12 of the Housing Assistance Act 1987;	Nil	
			(ii)	the Rates and Land Rent (Relief) Act 1970;	Nil

			(iv)	the Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991;	$ 149.00	
			(v)	any other enactment other than the review of a decision	$ 215.00

	Where the application involves more than one of the above matters, the fee payable is the higher of the fees.		

	Explanatory Note:	The determination sets out the amount of various fees in the Residential 				Tenancy Tribunal.  The application fee for a termination and possession 				order is higher in respect of a property where no bond has been provided.  				As the scheme is funded by interest from bond revenue and the retention of 				fees, the imposition of a higher fee in respect of such a class partially 				addresses a funding inequity that might otherwise exist.  Note that a fee was 				not previously set in relation to application for endorsement by the Tribunal 				under s10 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 (see item (iii) above) 				because the former fee setting power did not extend to applications which 				did not involve a dispute for the purposes of s73 of that Act.  Note that no 				fee is set by this determination but that if a fee is set in a future year, only 				one fee would be payable in relation to a series of applications made at the 				same time and raising the same issue, say, by the lessor and all the tenants 				in a co-operative for an endorsement.  Last Financial Year the Fees were 				$96.00, $182.00, Ni and, $48.00 respectively.

	Explanatory Note:	This fee applies when the Magistrates Court, on application from a party to 				proceedings, reviews an order, direction or other act of the Registrar of that 				Court.  No fee is payable for a review of an order, direction or other act of 				the Registrar in relation to small claims proceedings under Part XXII of the 				Magistrates Court (Civil Jurisdiction) Act 1982 or a Tribunal.  Last 				Financial Year the fee was $96.00.
