High Court of Australia - change in practitioners' room hire charges

30/06/2009

The High Court has recently reviewed the charges for the hire of rooms to legal practitioners attending in Canberra for High Court hearings. The court has decided to include in the daily room hire charge the charges associated with photocopying and telephone usage, which to date have been charged separately.

With effect from 1 July 2009 practitioners will no longer be charged separately for their photocopying and telephone usage. The charge for the practitioners' rooms will incease to $350 per day (inc. GST) and will include reasonable access to the photocopiers and telephones.
