EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This disallowable instrument determines payments made to jurors under the 
Juries Act 1967.  

Under section 51 of the Juries Act 1967, a person summoned or appointed to serve as a juror is entitled to be paid the amount determined by the Minister for the person’s attendance at the court in accordance with the summons or appointment, whether or not the person serves as a juror.

Schedule 1 of the instrument lists the amounts that a juror is to be paid under section 51.  The payments which will apply from the date of commencement are listed in column 3.  The payments which applied previously under Juries (Payment) Determination 2015 [DI2015-199] are listed in italic in column 2.

The 2016-17 ACT Budget has forecast a CPI of 1% for 2016-17.  This index has been applied to the payments set in 2015-16 to calculate the payments for the 2016-17 period.

The payments in column 3 will commence from 1 July 2016.
