PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT OPERATIONS ACT 1997 - SECT 94J

94J Costs of complying with recall notice

(1) A supply chain participant to whom a recall notice is given must pay the participant's own costs of complying with the notice.

(2) To avoid doubt, subsection (1) does not prevent the supply chain participant from recovering costs, or making another claim for damages or compensation, to which the supply chain participant may be entitled other than under this Act.

(3) If the EPA or a public authority takes action to comply with a recall notice itself or its officers, employees or contractors take the action, the EPA or public authority may recover the relevant costs under sections 94M and 94N.
