Commons Management Act 1989

An administrator is entitled to be paid such remuneration as the Minister directs.

If the affairs of a trust are managed by an administrator, the trust is liable to pay the expenses of the administrator in managing those affairs.

The remuneration of an administrator who is not a servant of the Crown is an expense referred to in subclause (2).

If an administrator appointed to manage a trust’s affairs is a servant of the Crown:

the expenses of the administrator referred to in subclause (2) include such amount as the Minister certifies to be the amount of remuneration payable to that servant in his or her capacity as administrator, and

the amount so certified is recoverable from the trust in a court of competent jurisdiction as a debt due to the Crown.
