#### 32B General rules about findings under this Part
(1) A finding made under this Part in relation to an R&D entity has no effect to the extent of any inconsistency with a finding already in force under this Part in relation to the R&D entity.
> Note: Example: A finding under subsection 27J(1) in relation to an R&D entity’s registration has no effect to the extent of any inconsistency with:
(a) a finding already in force under that subsection in relation to that registration; or
(b) a finding already in force under subsection 27B(1) in relation to the application for that registration; or
(c) a finding already in force under subsection 28A(1) (advance findings about the nature of activities) in relation to the R&D entity.
(2) Subsection 33(3) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 does not apply to the power to make a finding under this Part.
