AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

ARCHITECTS ORDINANCE 1967

WITNESSES’ EXPENSES – UNIFORMITY

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No. 37 of 1967

	Provisions are being introduced into Australian Capital Territory legislation to establish a uniform scale of fees for witnesses.  This is in accordance with a proposal by the Department of the Treasury that all Commonwealth legislation constituting courts, tribunals, boards and other organisations with the power to summon witnesses incorporate a uniform scale of fees.  This proposition is to be effected in Territory Ordinances by including a reference to the scale of fees set out in the Public Works Committee Regulations.
