    MOIR v IHC NEW ZEALAND INC [2017] NZHC 2189

    Court
    High Court

    Regulation 18(3) of the High Court Fees Regulations 2013 authorises the Registrar to require applicants to make fee waiver applications in the approved form and therefore to require the Legal Services Agency letter as proof of a grant of legal aid; s 24 of the Legal Services Act 2011 does not preclude that requirement, and the Registrar was entitled to adhere to the form; the plaintiff's argument that notice under s 24 alone sufficed has no merit.
