Explanatory note
This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations, which come into force on 11 October 2013, amend the High Court Fees Regulations 2013 (the principal regulations). The amendments prescribe—
a new fee of $100 for filing an application under section 56 of the Trans-Tasman Proceedings Act 2010 to register in the High Court under subpart 5 of Part 2 of that Act a registrable Australian judgment; and
a new fee of $250 for filing specified applications under that Act that relate to registered Australian judgments.
The new filing fees are both inclusive of goods and services tax.
An interlocutory application for review of a Registrar's decision is (see regulation 4, and item 7 of the Schedule, of the principal regulations) an exempt interlocutory application for which no filing fee is payable. No filing fee is therefore payable for an interlocutory application under rule 16 (review of Registrar's decision on application to register Australian judgment) of the Trans-Tasman Proceedings Regulations and Rules 2013.
Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.
Date of notification in Gazette: 5 September 2013.
These regulations are administered by the Ministry of Justice.
