Document background
The Consent Order Fee document is a crucial administrative instrument used in Australian courts when parties need to formalize their agreement regarding court fees associated with consent orders. This document becomes necessary whenever parties file consent orders with the court, requiring clear documentation of fee obligations and payment arrangements. It is particularly relevant in cases where parties seek fee waivers, installment plans, or when third-party payers are involved. The document operates within the framework of Australian federal and state court systems, ensuring compliance with the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976, Federal Court Rules 2011, and relevant fee regulations. It includes essential information such as fee calculations, payment terms, party details, and any special arrangements approved by the court registry.
