3C Payment of fees
3C Payment of fees
(1) A prescribed fee must be paid before the relevant function is exercised unless otherwise agreed between the person exercising the function and the person responsible for paying the fee.
(2) If a titling and registry function is exercised by an authorised operator, the prescribed fee for the function is the maximum fee that may be charged.
(3) To avoid doubt, the acceptance by an authorised operator of a fee less than the prescribed fee does not operate to reduce the amount required to be paid from the fee into the Torrens Assurance Fund.
