Court Procedures (Fees) Determination 2016 (No 2)
Disallowable instrument DI2016–101
made under the  
Court Procedures Act 2004, s 13 (Determination of fees)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Minister may determine fees for the purposes of the Court Procedures Act 2004.

The purpose of this determination is to set fees for the Act for the 2016-17 Financial Year.  This instrument revokes Disallowable Instrument DI2016-35, which set fees for the 2015-16 financial year.

Fees in the 2016-17 Financial Year were generally increased from fees in the previous Financial Year by an indexation of 4% and rounded to an appropriate value.

As Victims of Crime (Financial Assistance) matters are dealt with by the Magistrates Court, in this instrument, proceedings in these matters have been moved from ‘Proceedings in the Supreme Court’ to ‘Proceedings in the Magistrates Court’. As there is currently, in practice, no cost associated with filing Victims of Crime (Financial) Assistance application, the amount payable for lodging an application has been changed to ‘Nil’.

The instrument contains further explanatory notes about the fee for various items in the previous Financial Year.
