RATES AND LAND RENT (RELIEF) ACT 1970 (REPEALED) - SECT 15

Recovery of deferred amounts

    (1)     Subject to this section, the amount for which a person to whom a determination related has become indebted to the Territory under this Act is recoverable as a debt due to the Territory and payable on the day immediately after the day the determination is revoked.

    (2)     If, in the instrument revoking a determination, the Minister specifies the instalments for the payment of the amount for which the person to whom the determination related has become indebted to the Territory under this Act, an amount equal to the amount of each of the instalments so specified is recoverable as a debt due to the Territory and payable on the day that instalment is required to be paid by the instrument revoking the determination.

    (3)     If—

        (a)     in the instrument revoking a determination, the Minister specifies instalments for the payment of the amount for which the person to whom the determination related became indebted to the Territory under this Act; and

        (b)     the person to whom the determination related ceases, otherwise than by death, to be the owner of the land referred to in the determination after the revocation of the determination;

so much of the amount for which the person to whom the determination related as remains unpaid on the date the person ceases to be the owner of the land is, notwithstanding subsection (2), recoverable as a debt due to the Territory and payable on the day the person ceased to be the owner of the land.

    (4)     If a determination related to 2 or more persons, the liability of those persons for the payment of the amount for which they have become indebted to the Territory under this Act is joint and several.

    (5)     If a person referred to in subsection (4) pays to the Territory more than his or her proportionate part of the amount, the person may recover the excess by way of contribution from the other person, or the other persons liable, to pay the amount.
