AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

JURIES FEES REGULATIONS

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No. 10 of 1955

	The purpose of this regulation is to increase the fees payable to persons summoned for jury services in the Australian Capital Territory.

	The rates have been adjusted in proportion to the increased cost of living since the last increase in December, 1951.  The basis used previously (that is, one-fifth of the current basic wage) has been taken as a guide in determining a reasonable fee for one day’s attendance.
