83 Consideration of applications for extensions of time for lodging objections

(1) If an application is sent to the Registrar under section 82 in relation to an objection under this Part, the Registrar must: (a) consider the application; and (b) within 60 days after the application is received by the Registrar: (i) either grant or refuse the application; and (ii) if the application is granted—deal with the objection under subsection 87(1). (2) If the Registrar does not either grant or refuse to grant the application within that period of 60 days, the Registrar is taken, at the end of that period, to have refused to grant the application. (3) The Registrar must serve notice in writing of the decision on the person who made the application. (4) The notice must include, or be accompanied by: (a) the reasons for the decision; and (b) a statement to the effect that, if the person is aggrieved by the decision, application may be made, subject to this Act, to the SSAT for review of the decision. (5) A contravention of subsection (4) in relation to a decision does not affect the validity of the decision. (6) If an application under subsection 82(1) is granted, the person who made the application is, for the purposes of this Act, taken to have duly lodged the objection to which the application relates.
