Exemptions
In the case of financial hardship these fees can be waived by the Registrar. A written application form must be completed by the applicant. This form is available from the A.D.T. Registry and from this website. Fees are not payable in matters in the Equal Opportunity Division and Legal Services Division.

• These guidelines provide a framework that will assist in ensuring some consistency in decision making by reference to appropriate objective criteria.

• The grant of a waiver of a fee is based on the principle that persons should not be denied access to the Administrative Decisions Tribunal because of an incapacity to pay a fee. This principle, however, is limited and is not absolute.

However, a waiver will not be granted simply because expenditure exceeds income. An assessment of the quantity of discretional expenditure will also be made.

• Where an applicant claims to be in receipt of a social security benefit the applicant will ordinarily be required to produce documentary proof of those entitlements.

• Waivers will generally be refused where an applicant:
