Asked yesterday whether the council planned to pursue the debt, ORC chairman Stephen Cairns said: "Oh yeah."
The High Court fixed Mr Walker's costs after the hearing in Dunedin in June, when Mr Walker unsuccessfully challenged the ORC's funding of the Forsyth Barr Stadium.
But he claimed this week he could only pay $100, because of his bankruptcy.
Mr Walker said he asked the ORC's solicitors for their bank account details so he could make "full and final payment" as per an affidavit he had, and put $100 in the account.
"The payment was made in cash and accepted by the bank," he said, and that had occurred some weeks ago.
"I have received a cheque back from the solicitor saying they will not accept payment. They did not think it was enough."
Mr Walker said the amount was what he was "legally allowed" to pay as an undischarged bankrupt.
"I'm only allowed to spend a certain amount."
There could be no dispute about the matter as it was noted in an affidavit that was put to the court.
Mr Cairns responded Mr Walker had sent the money by electronic transfer.
"Then he tried to say that was full and final payment: if we banked it we are deemed to have accepted it."
Mr Walker was "playing games", he said.
"It has absolutely not been paid in full."
Mr Cairns said the situation was one of "an undischarged bankrupt trying to get out of paying".
Dunedin city councillor and former District Court judge Cr Michael Guest said the law used to be if a payment was banked by the recipient, it was considered paid.
That was no longer the case.
Cr Guest said Mr Walker had an automatic right to appeal his case.
Mr Walker's bankruptcy could be an issue, as courts could demand security of costs, but the inability of an applicant to pay "should not automatically bar him from his quest for justice".
