237C: Postponement of fees

You could also call this:

"Delaying court fees while your application is being decided"

The Governor-General can make rules to let a court Registrar delay paying a fee while they decide on an application. You can find more information about the types of applications in section 237B(1) and section 237D.

When you apply to use a power specified in this section, you do not have to pay a fee.

The rules made under this section are called secondary legislation, and you can learn more about what that means by looking at Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
