CHILD CARE PAYMENTS ACT 1997 No. 195 of 1997 - SECT 137
Debts arising from conviction of person for involvement in contravention of this Act by debtor
If:
(a) a recipient is liable to pay a debt under section 135 because the
recipient contravened this Act; and
(b) another person is convicted of an offence under section 5, 7A or 86 of
the Crimes Act 1914 in relation to that contravention;
the recipient
and the other person are jointly and severally liable to pay the debt.
Note 1: This section does not create a new debt. It extends liability
for a debt that has already arisen under section 135 to a person who
is convicted of certain offences. Note 2: In recovering a debt, the
Department may have regard to any view expressed by a court as to the
responsibility of a person to pay the debt.
