Regulation 85 Duties which may be performed without pre-payment of fee

An officer, if authorised by the clerk in a particular case, may comply with an application made to him for any purpose for which a fee is payable under any enactment notwithstanding that the fee or, in the case of a non-salaried officer, so much of the fee as is payable by him to the council, has not been paid to him and, if so directed by the clerk in the particular case, he shall not refuse to comply with such an application on the ground that the fee or, in the case of a non-salaried officer, so much of the fee as is payable by him to the council has not been paid to him.

The clerk may delegate his duties under this regulation, so far as they relate to applications made to a registrar, to the superintendent registrar within whose district that registrar has been appointed to act.
