Every court has a registrar and most courts also have several deputy registrars who are able to exercise most of the powers of a registrar, as permitted by legislation.
Registrars, including deputy registrars, are statutory appointments and are able to exercise specified jurisdiction of the court, including considering applications to access some court records.
Note: In some matters registrars will need to refer applications to a judge (see 6.2 Searches and search rules).
