### sec.110 Compensation
A person may claim compensation from the State if the person incurs loss or expense because of the exercise or purported exercise of a power under this part, including, for example, in complying with a requirement made of the person under this part.
Payment of compensation from the State may be claimed and ordered—
in a proceeding brought in a court with jurisdiction for the recovery of compensation; or
in a proceeding for an offence against this Act brought against the person making the claim for compensation.
A court may order the payment of compensation for the loss or expense only if it is satisfied it is just to make the order in the circumstances of the particular case.
A regulation may prescribe matters that may, or must, be taken into account by the court when considering whether it is just to make the order.
