Delegated Legislation Joint Committee (1987 - 2001)· 28 November 1991general_report

The WA Delegated Legislation Joint Committee's 1991 report scrutinises regulations related to court fees and land administration. It focuses on the legality of a levy for the 'Courts Modernisation Fund', questioning whether it's a legitimate fee or an unauthorised tax. The committee finds the levy to be *ultra vires*.

Impact

Impacts court users who pay fees, the Department of Justice, and potentially the funding of court modernisation projects. Could affect the validity of similar levies.
