154 Decision on claims
(1) If the commissioner for fair trading is given a claim for compensation
under section 151 (Claims for compensation), the commissioner must
decide whether there is financial loss for which compensation may be
paid to the claimant under this division and, if so, the amount of the
loss.
(2) If the commissioner for fair trading gives a notice under section 152
(Requirement to give information and produce documents) or
section 153 in relation to a claim, the commissioner need not take any
further action in relation to the claim until—
(a) the requirement in the notice is satisfied; and
(b) for a requirement under section 153—the relevant proceeding is
decided.
