    MOIR v IHC NEW ZEALAND INC [2018] NZCA 130

    Citation
    (2018) 24 PRNZ 45
    Court
    Court of Appeal

    The Registrar was entitled under reg 18(3) of the High Court Fees Regulations 2013 to require an application for waiver to be in the approved form and to insist on production of the Legal Services Agency letter of grant of legal aid; notice under s 24 of the Legal Services Act 2011 does not bind the Registrar for fee waiver purposes and the Registrar may only dispense with the approved form or its requirements in the exercise of discretion, therefore Mallon J did not err in upholding the Registrar and the application for leave to appeal is dismissed.
