Youth Court Regulations 2020

These regulations may be cited as the

Youth Court

Regulations 2020.

These regulations come into operation on

1 July 2020.

In these regulations, unless the contrary intention appears—

Act means the Youth Court Act 1993;

government agency has the same meaning as in the

Magistrates Court

Regulations 2019.

The Court may require a non-refundable deposit as security for the payment of fees for the production of a transcript of the hearing of a case at the request of a party where the Court does not require the transcript.

Section 15 of the Crown

Proceedings Act 1992 makes provision in relation to the

State Crown's liability for fees and charges in civil proceedings in the

Court.

A government agency is not required to pay any fee or charge—

for commencing, or taking any step in, proceedings in the criminal jurisdiction of the Court; or

for obtaining a transcript of any such proceedings to which it is a party; or

for obtaining a copy of evidence in any such proceedings to which it is a party.

Any costs to which a government agency is entitled will be calculated as if the government agency were liable to pay, and had in fact paid, fees and charges from which it is exempt under subregulation (3).
