RULES OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY (AMENDMENT) 1991 NO. 294

Statutory Rules 1991 No. 294

Issued by the Authority of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory

AMENDMENT OF THE RULES OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

These amendments are of several kinds:

1.       Order 52 is amended by substituting new provisions concerning court appointed receivers which clarify the position of receivers in relation to the approval by the Court of accounts of receivers and the approval by the Court of payment of remuneration to receivers. The amendments bring the Supreme Court Rules substantially into line with the Federal Court Rules in these matters.

2.       Order 63 rule 2 is amended by increasing the amount of the fee payable for opening the Registry out of hours in order to reflect current monetary values.

3.       Order 75B is amended by omitting subrules 7(3), (4) and (5) and rule 8. The omitted provisions relate to the review of decisions of the Registrar and Master under the Corporations Law and Australian Securities Commission Law and are unnecessary and inappropriate to Supreme Court Practice because they duplicate other legislative provisions and are in some respects inconsistent with those other provisions.
