(5) The Registrar may defer the payment of a fee in relation to an application or appeal if, in his or her opinion, filing the application or appeal is attended by urgency that overrides the requirement of payment of the fee at the time of filing. (6) If payment of a fee has been deferred under subregulation (5), the fee: (a) must be paid within 30 days of filing; and (b) if not paid within that period, is a debt due to the Commonwealth that may be recovered in a court of competent jurisdiction. 2AA Setting down fees (1) Subject to subregulations (1A) and (2), if the Court, a Judge, Judicial Registrar or Registrar fixes a date for the hearing of a proceeding, the following fee is payable for the setting down of the proceeding for hearing: (a) for an application or an issue or question in an application: (i) if the person liable to pay the fee (or if more than one person is liable, any of them) is a corporation — $2,000; or (ii) in any other case — $1,000; (b) for an appeal (to a single Judge or to the Full Court): (i) if the person liable to pay the fee (or if more than one person is liable, any of them) is a corporation — $2,000; or (ii) in any other case — $1,000. > Note These fees are subject to increase under regulation 2AB.

(2) If, in a relevant period, the latest CPI number is greater than the earlier CPI number, a fee is taken to increase, on 1 July immediately following the end of the period, in accordance with the formula: ![](image.002.png) where: > earlier CPI number is the CPI number for the last March quarter before the beginning of the relevant period; and > fee is the fee in force at the end of the relevant period; and > latest CPI number is the CPI number for the last March quarter before the end of the relevant period. (3) If, apart from this subregulation, the amount of a fee increased under subregulation (2) would be an amount of dollars and cents, the amount is to be rounded to the nearest whole dollar and, if the amount to be rounded is 50 cents, rounded down. (4) Subject to subregulation (5), if at any time, whether before or after the commencement of this regulation, the Australian Statistician publishes for a particular March quarter a CPI number in substitution for an index number previously published by the Australian Statistician for that quarter, the publication of the later index number is to be disregarded for the purposes of this regulation. (5) If, at any time, whether before or after the commencement of this regulation, the Australian Statistician changes the reference base for the Consumer Price Index, then, for the purposes of the application of this regulation after the change is made, regard shall be had only to numbers published in terms of the new reference base. 2AD Refund of fees (1) A person who has paid a setting down fee or a hearing fee is entitled to a refund of the fee if: (a) notice that the hearing of the notice of motion, application or appeal for which the fee was paid will not proceed is given to the Registrar: (i) if the date for hearing was fixed less than 10 working days before that date — not less than 2 working days before the date for hearing; or (ii) in any other case — not less than 10 working days before the date for hearing; and (b) the hearing does not proceed. (2) A person who has paid a setting down fee or a hearing fee is entitled to a refund of the fee if: (a) despite a notice being given to the Registrar under paragraph (1) (a) — a hearing is conducted for the purpose of making formal orders; or (b) the fee was not payable because of the operation of subregulation 2AA (2) or 2A (2). 2B Notice of decision: review by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (1) If the Registrar makes a decision under subregulation 2 (2A) or paragraph 2 (4) (c), 2AA (2) (h) or 2A (2) (g), a notice of the decision must be given to the person liable to pay the fee to which the decision relates. (2) Application may be made to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal for review of a decision of that kind. (3) If the decision is a decision that an appeal does not meet the criteria set out in subregulation 2 (2B), or a decision not to waive payment of a fee, the notice must: (a) set out reasons for the decision; and (b) contain, or be accompanied by, a statement to the effect that, subject to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975, application may be made to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal for review of the decision. (4) A notice under subregulation (1) must be given within 28 days of the date of the decision. (5) Failure to include in a notice under subregulation (1) a statement of the kind mentioned in paragraph (3) (b) does not affect the validity of the decision. 3 Application (1) These Regulations apply to and in relation to: (a) a proceeding commenced in the Court on or after 28 March 1978; and (b) the service or execution of the process of the Court issued or granted on or after that date.
