63 Settling monetary claims involving the Commonwealth or an entity
(1) An entity must not settle a monetary claim involving it or the Commonwealth except in accordance with this Part.
(2) To avoid doubt, this Part applies in addition to, and does not override, section 36 (settling claims and litigation that give rise to significant issues).
Note: Section 36 requires that, where a significant issue arises in the handling of a claim or conduct of litigation, an entity must not settle the claim or litigation without the Attorney-General’s approval.
