20Notes

20  Notes  20.1 Lawyer is defined in section 4 of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976.  20.2 The rates specified at item 1.1 should not exceed the rates actually charged by the lawyer to the client. Accordingly, bills of costs should set out the hourly rate (or rates) actually charged by the lawyer.  20.3 The charge for preparing documents (item 2) is inclusive of typing, printing, posting, faxing and emailing, and any other administrative task relating to the preparation or transmission of a document, by whatever means. There is to be no charge for such administrative tasks.  20.4 There is no scale item for printing documents. Accordingly, litigants should not expect to recover the cost of this task.  20.5 The word count for correspondence in items 2.2, 2.3, 3.2 and 3.3 excludes any signature block, disclaimer or similar wording. Endnotes The endnotes provide information about this compilation and the compiled law. The following endnotes are included in every compilation: Abbreviation key—Endnote 2 The abbreviation key sets out abbreviations that may be used in the endnotes. Legislation history and amendment history—Endnotes 3 and 4 Amending laws are annotated in the legislation history and amendment history. The legislation history in endnote 3 provides information about each law that has amended (or will amend) the compiled law. The information includes commencement details for amending laws and details of any application, saving or transitional provisions that are not included in this compilation. The amendment history in endnote 4 provides information about amendments at the provision (generally section or equivalent) level. It also includes information about any provision of the compiled law that has been repealed in accordance with a provision of the law. Editorial changes The Legislation Act 2003 authorises First Parliamentary Counsel to make editorial and presentational changes to a compiled law in preparing a compilation of the law for registration. The changes must not change the effect of the law. Editorial changes take effect from the compilation registration date. If the compilation includes editorial changes, the endnotes include a brief outline of the changes in general terms. Full details of any changes can be obtained from the Office of Parliamentary Counsel. Misdescribed amendments A misdescribed amendment is an amendment that does not accurately describe how an amendment is to be made. If, despite the misdescription, the amendment can be given effect as intended, then the misdescribed amendment can be incorporated through an editorial change made under section 15V of the Legislation Act 2003. If a misdescribed amendment cannot be given effect as intended, the amendment is not incorporated and “(md not incorp)” is added to the amendment history.     | ad = added or inserted | orig = original | | am = amended | p = page(s) | | amdt = amendment | para = paragraph(s)/subparagraph(s) | | C[x] = Compilation No. x | /sub‑subparagraph(s) | | ch = Chapter(s) | pres = present | | cl = clause(s) | prev = previous | | cont. = continued | (prev…) = previously | | def = definition(s) | pt = Part(s) | | Dict = Dictionary | r = regulation(s)/Court rule(s) | | disallowed = disallowed by Parliament | reloc = relocated | | div = Division(s) | renum = renumbered | | ed = editorial change | rep = repealed | | exp = expires/expired or ceases/ceased to have | rs = repealed and substituted | | effect | s = section(s)/subsection(s) | | gaz = gazette | /rule(s)/subrule(s)/order(s)/suborder(s) | | LA = Legislation Act 2003 | sch = Schedule(s) | | LIA = Legislative Instruments Act 2003 | SLI = Select Legislative Instrument | | (md) = misdescribed amendment can be given | SR = Statutory Rules | | effect | sub ch = Sub‑Chapter(s) | | (md not incorp) = misdescribed amendment | sub div = Subdivision(s) | | cannot be given effect | sub pt = Subpart(s) | | mod = modified/modification | underlining = whole or part not | | No. = Number(s) | commenced or to be commenced | | Ord = Ordinance | |     - Name Registration Commencement Application, saving and transitional provisions - Federal Court Rules 2011 (SLI No. 134, 2011) 28 July 2011 (F2011L01551) 1 Aug 2011 (r 1.02) - Federal Court Amendment Rules 2013 (No. 1) (SLI No. 65, 2013) 8 May 2013 (F2013L00749) Sch 2: 11 June 2013 (r 2(3)) Remainder: 9 May 2013 (r 2(1), (2)) — - Federal Court Amendment (Electronic Court File Measures No. 1) Rules 2013 (SLI No. 256, 2013) 25 Nov 2013 (F2013L01970) 26 Nov 2013 (r 2) — - Federal Court Amendment (Costs and Other Measures) Rules 2013 (SLI No. 283, 2013) 2 Jan 2014 (F2014L00001) Sch 1 (items 6, 7): 1 Jan 2014 (r 2(3)) Remainder: 3 Jan 2014 (r 2(1), (2)) — - Federal Court (Bankruptcy) Repeal Rules 2016 24 Mar 2016 (F2016L00383) Sch 2 and 3: 1 Apr 2016 (r 2(1) item 1) Sch 3 - Federal Court Legislation Amendment (Criminal Proceedings) Rules 2016 9 Nov 2016 (F2016L01728) Sch 2: 10 Nov 2016 (r 2(1) item 1) — - Federal Court Amendment (Court Administration and Other Measures) Rules 2019 1 May 2019 (F2019L00665) 2 May 2019 (r 2(1) item 1) — - Federal Court Legislation Amendment Rules 2022 12 Jan 2023 (F2023L00033) Sch 1: 13 Jan 2023 (r 2(1) item 1) — - Federal Court Legislation Amendment Rules 2024 4 June 2024 (F2024L00626) Sch 1: 5 June 2024 (r 2(1) item 1) — - Federal Court Amendment (2025 Measures No. 1) Rules 2025 19 Aug 2025 (F2025L00941) 2 Sept 2025 (r 2(1) item 1) —     | Provision affected | How affected | | Chapter 1 | | | Part 1 | | | Division 1.1 | | | r 1.02................... | rep LA s 48D | | r 1.03................... | rep LA s 48C | | r 1.04................... | am F2016L00383;
