Amtsgelder

English translation: public funds

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Amtsgelder
English translation:public funds
Entered by: Trudy Peters

19:00 Jan 23, 2011
German to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Law (general) / warranty claim, expert opinion
German term or phrase: Amtsgelder
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!
