The Registrar correctly declined the fee waiver because the applicant explicitly stated the proceeding would proceed regardless of a waiver, so reg 18(2)(b)(ii) — that the proceeding is unlikely to be commenced or continued unless the fee is waived — was not satisfied; any doubt about public interest meant the alternative criterion also failed.
