Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

These regulations update court-administration mechanics: they declare which courts and tribunals are "participating", designate specified registrar and sheriff positions, fix the Courts Administration Council's contractual liability cap at $4,000,000 (r 6), and repeal the 2008 regulations. They affect court managers, registrars, the Council and users of the listed courts. The Council decides and bears the contract-cap; designated officers must operate under the listed roles. The changes are administrative and fiscal: compliance and organisational responsibility shift to the named offices and the Council's contract exposure is fixed.
