Establishing appropriate fee status
17 Establishing appropriate fee status
This regulation applies to—
a standard fee payer; and
concession fee payer; and
any fee payer claiming or entitled to a waiver or refund of a fee specified in Schedule 1.
A fee payer to whom this regulation applies must provide to a court official, when requested to do so, information or evidence that establishes, as the case requires, that the fee payer is—
a standard fee payer; or
a concession fee payer; or
entitled to a waiver or refund of a fee in Schedule 1.
If a court official is satisfied that the information or evidence provided under subregulation (2)—
establishes the fee payer's status as a standard fee payer, the fee payer is liable to pay the applicable standard fee specified in column 4 of Schedule 1; or
establishes the fee payer's status as a concession fee payer, the fee payer is liable to pay the applicable concession fee specified in column 5 of Schedule 1; or
entitles the fee payer to a waiver or refund of a fee specified in Schedule 1, the fee is waived or refunded as appropriate.
If a lower fee has been charged or paid in accordance with this regulation and the fee payer should have paid a higher fee or was not entitled to the relevant status—
a court official may reinstate the correct fee and require its payment; and
the fee payer is liable for the reinstated fee and must pay the difference between the fee originally paid (if any) and the reinstated fee.
