Control declarations—authorising actions and recovering costs
60 Control declarations—authorising actions and recovering costs
If a person (the liable person) fails to comply with a control declaration, the director‑general may authorise a person to—
enter premises other than residential premises; and
take any action in relation to the premises, or anything at the premises, that the liable person is required by the declaration to take or is otherwise necessary to remedy the failure to comply.
The director‑general may recover from the liable person the reasonable costs of taking action under this section.
An amount owing under a law may be recovered as a debt in a court of competent jurisdiction or the ACAT (see Legislation Act, s 177).
Any action taken under this section for failure to comply with a control declaration, is in addition to the taking of a proceeding for an offence of failing to comply with a control declaration under section 61.
