(1) QCAT may make an order under section 66 even if the tree has been completely removed.

(2) However, QCAT may not make an order to remedy damage caused by a tree that has been completely removed if the tree-keeper has sold the land on which the tree was situated since the damage was caused.

(3) For subsection (2) , land is taken to be sold on the transfer day for the sale.
