71E Notices must be given to payers and payees in relation to registration decisions

Notices must be given (1) This section applies if the Registrar decides, under section 71, 71A or 71C, to credit an amount received by the payee of an enforceable maintenance liability, or a third party, against the liability of the payer of that enforceable maintenance liability.

Note: If the Registrar refuses to credit an amount under section 71, 71A or 71C, the Registrar must give a notice under subsection 42C(3).

(2) As soon as practicable after the Registrar credits the amount, the Registrar must serve a notice in writing of the decision on the payee and the payer. Content of notices (3) A notice served on a person under this section in relation to a decision (the original decision) must include, or be accompanied by, a statement to the effect that: (a) the person may, subject to this Act, object to the original decision; and (b) if the person is dissatisfied by a later decision of the Registrar on an objection to the original decision (no matter who lodges the objection), the person may, subject to this Act, apply to the SSAT for review of the later decision. (4) A contravention of subsection (3) in relation to a decision does not affect the validity of the decision.
