Quantifiable contingencies

The schedule of contingencies reports ‘other’ liabilities of $271,856 (2009: $248,224). This amount represents an estimate of the Treasury’s liability in respect of studies assistance.

Unquantifiable contingencies

As at 30 June 2010, the Treasury had a number of legal claims against it. The Treasury has denied liability and is defending the claims. It is not possible to estimate the amounts of any eventual payments that may be required in relation to these claims.

The courts may award legal costs against the Treasury in the event it is unsuccessful in an action before the courts. As there is uncertainty over the outcome of outstanding and pending court cases, duration of court cases and the legal costs of the opposing party, these costs cannot be reliably measured.

Remote contingencies

The Treasury’s lease on its current premises contains a make good clause which has been estimated by an independent valuer at $2.7 million. The Treasury has assessed the likelihood of the make good provision being required and has deemed it as remote.

As at 30 June 2010, the Treasury has a number of contracts which may give rise to contingent liabilities based on certain events occurring. The Treasury has assessed the likelihood of such events occurring as being remote and unquantifiable.
