    HIGH COURT OF AUSTRALIA - CHANGE IN PRACTITIONERS’ ROOM HIRE

 

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 by practitioners which have to date 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 practitioner’s rooms will increase to $350 per day (inclusive of GST) and will include reasonable access to the photocopiers and telephones.
