61 Simplified outline of this Part
A fee that is payable under this instrument for services provided by the Commonwealth must be paid:
(a) in full to the Commonwealth before the end of 28 days starting on the day the notification that the fee is payable is given under this instrument; or
(b) by instalments if the Secretary has agreed to accept payment of the fee by instalments.
If a fee that is payable under this instrument by a person (other than a fee for an independent review of certain decisions by the Committee) is not paid before the time the fee must be paid, the Commonwealth may:
(a) refuse to consider any submission or application made (or to be made) by the person under this instrument; or
(b) refuse to provide any services in response to a submission or an application under this instrument until the fee is paid or is no longer payable.
A person may seek an independent review of certain decisions by the Committee. A fee is payable for the independent review.
If a submission or an application for services made under this instrument is withdrawn and no services have been provided, or the Secretary decides that the Commonwealth cannot provide the services to which a submission or an application for services made under this instrument relates, the Secretary must decide whether the fee (if any) paid for the services is to be refunded or, if no fee was paid, whether to remit the fee.
