German term

Amtsgelder

German to English Bus/Financial Law (general) warranty claim, expert opinion
From an Austrian text:

Der Sachverständige hat seine Gebühren in dreifacher Ausführung geltend zu machen, wenn auf Zahlung aus **Amtsgeldern** verzichtet wird oder die Gebühr zur Gänze aus dem erlegten Vorschuss bezahlt werden kann.

Not sure what is meant by Amtsgelder; couldn't find any convincing hits. Public funds maybe?

Any help appreciated!

official funds This is what Romain: Dictionary of legal and commercial terms suggests (the dictionary tends to be reliable).
Trudy Peters (asker) Jan 23, 2011:
This is in a ruling by an Austrian Landesgericht that is appointing an expert to decide whether the claimant has a case against the manufacturer of a bicycle on which he got hurt.
Jonathan MacKerron Jan 23, 2011:
which Amt?? perhaps "departmental funds", but depends on the context of course.
