sec.91FC Compliance with market information instrument
A market information instrument takes effect— in the case of a general market information order—on publication on AEMO’s website; or in the case of a market information notice—on service of the notice on the person to whom it is addressed. AEMO may, by written notice, exempt a person from compliance with a general market information order— unconditionally or on specified conditions; and wholly or to a specified extent. Subject to any exemption, a person who is a member of a class to which a general market information order applies must comply with the order. A person on whom a market information notice is served must comply with the notice. The duty to comply with a market information instrument prevails over a duty of confidence. However— a person cannot be required by a market information instrument to disclose information that is the subject of legal professional privilege; and a natural person cannot be required by a market information instrument to disclose information that would incriminate the person or make the person liable to a criminal penalty under the law of an Australian jurisdiction (whether or not the jurisdiction is a participating jurisdiction). A person incurs no liability, by complying with a market information instrument, for breach of contract, breach of confidence or any other civil wrong. s 91FC ins 2009 No. 30 (SA) s 14 (sec.91FC-ssec.1) A market information instrument takes effect— in the case of a general market information order—on publication on AEMO’s website; or in the case of a market information notice—on service of the notice on the person to whom it is addressed.
