Senior Courts Act 2016

High Court - Registrars, Sheriffs, and officers of High Court

34: Powers of Registrars

You could also call this:

"What Registrars can do to help the High Court work smoothly"

Illustration for Senior Courts Act 2016

You have duties and powers as a Registrar. These come from the Senior Courts Act 2016, other laws, or the High Court Rules. You also have powers to ensure the High Court runs smoothly. You can do what is necessary to make sure the court's business is done efficiently. As a Deputy Registrar, you have the same duties and powers as a Registrar. You can see how this law has changed over time by looking at the previous law. However, if another law or the High Court Rules say something different, you must follow those rules instead. This means you need to be aware of all the laws and rules that apply to your role as a Registrar or Deputy Registrar.
