AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

MAGISTRATES COURT (CIVIL JURISDICTION) (FEES) REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

No. 14 of 1988

This Regulation amends the Magistrates Court (Civil Jurisdiction) (Fees) Regulations to increase from $2,000 to $2,500 the fee payable for a financial year for inspection (at any time) of a register of default judgements in the ACT Magistrates Court.  This increase is equivalent to a percentage increase of about 8.3% per year since the fee was fixed in 1985.  The Regulation also increases from $2 to $5 the fee payable for a “one off” search of a register.

There is no fee payable by a party to proceedings or the legal representatives of that party for inspecting a default judgment entered in those proceedings.
