(4) ACT Law Courts and Tribunal Administration do not record lodgement fees separately for different matter types of the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal (ACAT).

For the period 1 July 2010 to 31 December 2010 it was $90. This statement of performance was tabled in the Legislative Assembly on 15 February 2011. This is the first time that this information has been reported for the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

(5) ACT Law Courts and Tribunal Administration are not able to provide this information as fees and expenditure information is not kept about individual matters or matter types for the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

(6) There were 864 Civil Dispute and 33 Administrative matters pending as at 30 June 2010.

(7) There were 85 Civil Dispute matters pending for more than 12 months of which 2 were pending for more than 24 months.
