sec.23 Accommodation allowance

The amount of the accommodation allowance that is to be paid to a relevant person is to be the amount calculated at the rate payable under the Public Sector Act 2022 to a public service officer. For subsection (1) — the period of absence from the relevant person’s place of residence is to be calculated from the time of departure from that place to the time of return to that place; and if, after the number of full days absence has been calculated, the period remaining is more than 12 hours, that period is to be treated as a day’s absence. For calculating the accommodation allowance, regard is to be had to— the time of the latest public transport available by which the person could conveniently travel to the court in reasonable time before the person’s required attendance; and the time by which the person could conveniently return to the person’s place of employment, practice or residence using the earliest public transport available within a reasonable time after the person’s attendance at court. Subsection (3) does not apply if special reasons exist for some other basis for the calculation. s 23 amd 2023 SL No. 60 s 17 sch 1 (sec.23-ssec.1) The amount of the accommodation allowance that is to be paid to a relevant person is to be the amount calculated at the rate payable under the Public Sector Act 2022 to a public service officer.
