162 Sale price partly recoverable in case of certain offences
(1) Where a person has been found guilty of an offence:
(a) consisting of a contravention of section 151 of the Australian
Consumer Law (NT) committed by falsely stating the year in
which a motor vehicle was manufactured or first registered, or
the model designation of the vehicle; or
(b) against section 161;
a person who purchased the motor vehicle in respect of which the
offence was committed relying on the statement or, in the case of
an offence against section 161, on the reading on the odometer of
the vehicle at the time of the purchase may apply to the
Commissioner for an order under subsection (2).
(2) Where on an application under subsection (1) the Commissioner is
satisfied that the sale price of the vehicle exceeded its fair value at
the time of the sale, the Commissioner shall order the person found
guilty of the offence to pay the amount of the excess to the
purchaser.
(3) An order of the Commissioner under subsection (2) is enforceable
as if it were an order for the payment of money made by the Local
Court.
