Guide for using this reprint
What the reprint includes
Endnotes, Compilation table, and Table of provisions that have not come into operation
1.Details about the original regulations and legislation that has amended its text are shown in the Compilation table in endnote 1, at the back of the reprint. The table also shows any previous reprint.
2.Transitional, savings, or other provisions identified in the Compilation table may be important. The table may refer to another endnote setting out the text of these provisions in full.
3.A table of provisions that have not come into operation, to be found in endnote 1a if it is needed, lists any provisions of the regulations being reprinted that have not come into operation and any amendments that have not come into operation. The full text is set out in another endnote that is referred to in the table.
Notes amongst text (italicised and within square brackets)
1.If the reprint includes a regulation that was inserted, or has been amended, since the regulations being reprinted were made, editorial notes at the foot of the regulation give some history of how the regulation came to be as it is. If the regulation replaced an earlier regulation, no history of the earlier regulation is given (the full history of the regulations is in the Compilation table).
Notes of this kind may also be at the foot of Schedules or headings.
2.The other kind of editorial note shows something has been —
•removed (because it was repealed or deleted from the law); or
•omitted under the Reprints Act 1984 s. 7(4) (because, although still technically part of the text, it no longer has any effect).
The text of anything removed or omitted can be found in an earlier reprint (if there is one) or one of the written laws identified in the Compilation table.
Reprint numbering and date
1.The reprint number (in the footer of each page of the document) shows how many times the regulations have been reprinted. For example, numbering a reprint as “Reprint 3” would mean that the reprint was the 3rd reprint since the regulations were published. Reprint numbering was implemented as from 1 January 2003.
2.The information in the reprint is current on the date shown as the date as at which the regulations are reprinted. That date is not the date when the reprint was published by the State Law Publisher and it is probably not the date when the most recent amendment had effect.

(2)Where a person summoned and attending as a juror is required to so attend for any period in excess of 10 days the Attorney General may fix the appropriate rate of fee payable in respect of such attendance.
(3)Subject to these regulations, where the summoning officer is satisfied that a person attending as a juror has by reason of so attending lost income in an amount greater than the fee prescribed by subregulation (1), the summoning officer may pay the person a fee that equals that loss, but the amount paid in respect of any one day must not exceed $240.

5.Allowance for adjournment
Should a juror be serving on a case which is adjourned he shall receive either a return fare or an allowance for road travel at the prescribed rate, to enable him to return to his home during such adjournment or payment for the period of such adjournment, whichever gives the lower total.
6.Allowance for Saturday
If the Court adjourns from the Friday to the Monday a juror may be allowed pay for the Saturday, provided he has lost his ordinary emoluments for that day.
7.No allowance when excused or temporarily discharged
When jurors are excused or temporarily discharged by the Court for a specific period pending the hearing of a case in which some other jury is empanelled, or some other case being heard, a juror shall receive no pay for such period unless he can show actual loss in no way due to his own action.
