#### 21 Requirement if there is only one set of abuse
General rule
(1) If there is only one set of abuse of the person, the amount that is the institution’s share of the maximum amount must be worked out using the following formula:

> Note: There could be either a single primarily responsible institution (in which case the institution’s share of the maximum amount will be the whole of that amount) or 2 or more equally responsible institutions (all of which will be counted, whether or not they are participating institutions and therefore liable for providing redress to the person under the scheme).
Special rule for child migrant covered by section 10
(2) However, if the institution is responsible because of section 10 for abuse covered by the set, the amount that is the institution’s share of the maximum amount must be worked out using the following table.
