This Direction ensures the Federal Court gets the funds to pay for work that used to be done by the AAT.\n\n**The details:**\n*   **Amount:** $84,000\n*   **From:** Administrative Appeals Tribunal (from their 2002-2003 running costs budget)\n*   **To:** Federal Court of Australia\n*   **Legal basis:** Section 32 of the *Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997*, which allows the Finance Department to move money between agencies when functions change hands\n\n**Who it affects:** Mainly the two courts/agencies involved. This is routine administrative housekeeping to ensure budgets follow responsibilities."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2007b00819","history":"/api/acts/f2007b00819/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2007b00819/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2007b00819/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2007b00819/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2007b00819/documents"}}
