19 Allowances and expenses of other witnesses
This regulation applies to a prosecution witness who is called to give evidence at a court other than in a professional or expert capacity.
If the witness is engaged in an income producing vocation and loses income because of the witness's attendance at the court, the witness is entitled to the amount of income actually lost up to a maximum of $69.10 for each day, or part of a day, that the witness is necessarily absent from the witness's place of business by reason of the attendance.
If the witness is not engaged in an income producing vocation but the witness necessarily incurs expenditure because of the witness's attendance at the court that is not provided for in regulation 20, 21 or 22, the witness is entitled to the amount of the actual expenditure incurred up to a maximum of $33.70 for each day.
