General role of local regulatory authority in costs disputes
291 General role of local regulatory authority in costs disputes
(1) The designated local regulatory authority is, subject to the other
provisions of this Division, to deal with a costs dispute in the same manner
as other consumer matters if-- (a) the total bill for legal costs is less than
$100 000 (indexed) payable in respect of any one matter; or
(b) the total
bill for legal costs equals or is more than $100 000 (indexed) payable in
respect of any one matter, but the total amount in dispute is less than $10
000 (indexed).
(2) If a complaint contains a costs dispute that cannot be
dealt with under subsection (1), the designated local regulatory authority is
not to deal with or continue to deal with the dispute, but is to inform the
parties of the right to apply for a costs assessment or to make an application
under jurisdictional legislation for the matter to be determined.
