Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 13 Hansard (5 December) . . Page.. 4536 ..


SUPREME COURT OFFICE

During the period 1 December 1995 and 31 August 1996, the Registrar of the Supreme Court has waived $25,754.00 in Court filing fees in respect of 62 applications to the Court. These fees have been waived in accordance with section 37 B of the Supreme Court Act 1933 on the grounds that payment would impose hardship on the person liable to pay the fee or on the ground that the person liable to pay the fee was receiving legal aid from an approved legal aid scheme or service.

NOTE The Supreme Court and the Magistrates Court are unable to provide any further information given the secrecy provisions of their relevant legislation. In the case of the Office of the Public Trustee, the information required is not readily available. Accessing this information would involve the use of considerable resources within the Office. However, the Office has undertaken to make changes to its system so as to facilitate the retrieval of this information should it be required sometime in the future.
