‘authority’ is a reference to any body or office to which office-holders, as defined in clause 1.4, are appointed;
 
‘business of the authority’ means any business of the authority conducted by an office-holder with the approval of the authority, other than attendance at a formal meeting and the preparation time for that meeting, except as specified in Clause 2.5;
 
‘office-holder’ means the holder of a part-time public office;
 
‘public office’ has the same meaning as in the Remuneration Tribunal Act 1973.
 
 
PART 2 – FEES
 
2.1         Specified Offices:  The fees set out in Schedules A, B, C, D and E apply to the holders of the public offices specified in those schedules.  They are inclusive of the amount necessary to meet any taxation obligation in respect of these fees.
