Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 2 Hansard (29 February) . . Page.. 565 ..

Amounts written off under the ACT Audit Act 1989:

5 cash deficiencies were written off totalling $245.

These amounts relate to short falls in daily takings by counter agents of the Court. These deficiencies are all investigated as a matter of course. On all of the occasions included above, the officers involved were found not to be negligent in their duties in relation to the collection of public moneys, and therefore were not held liable to pay the amounts to the Territory in respect of the loss.

Similarly, the Registrar of the Supreme Court also has powers under the Supreme Court Act 1933 to waive application fees where the payment would cause hardship.

This discretion was exercised on 42 occasions in relation to Personal Injury Claims. The total value was $7 488.
