court may make the orders about their respective entitlements that the court

than as owner or mortgagee, the court may order that the person is entitled to
be paid the value of the person’s interest (as decided by the court) in
priority to the commissioner’s entitlement under subsection (5)
(c).
(10) On application by any other interested person, the court may order
payment out of court of all or part of any balance to a person other than the
person who was the owner before the sale if the court considers it just to do
so.

satisfied—
(a) that the owner is a pensioner or, if there are 2 or more owners, each
owner is a pensioner; or
(b) if the owner, or each owner, is not a pensioner—that payment of
the total amount of rates payable or to become payable is likely to cause
substantial hardship to the owner or each owner; or
(c) that the owners are a pensioner and his or her partner who is not a
pensioner; or
(d) for an application made by a pensioner who is a joint owner—that
no other owner of the parcel can reasonably contribute to the payment of rates

(6) Despite subsection (5), the commissioner may make a determination in
relation to 1 or more joint owners of a parcel (but not by all the joint owners)
even if each owner does not ordinarily live on the parcel, if—

and
(b) the commissioner is satisfied that it is appropriate to make the
determination.
(7) To remove any doubt, the owner of a parcel of land who has received a
rebate for rates under division 7.3 may make an application under this

47 Determination for deferral of rates without
application
(1) The commissioner may, at any time on the commissioner’s own

a copy of the determination to the person to whom it relates.
Note For how documents may be served, see the Legislation Act,

(i) the owner is living elsewhere because of the exceptional
circumstances; and

value a right of occupation of the parcel of land, or any part of it (including
any building on it), for use as a residence—

(iii) whether the agreement is in writing, is oral, or is partly in
writing and partly oral; but
(b) does not include an agreement giving a right of occupation only as a
boarder or lodger.
(6) To remove any doubt, the commissioner may make a determination under
this section in relation to a parcel of land even though the owner of the parcel
