Building Act 2004

The Minister may, by written notice given to the trustees of an approved scheme, require the trustees to give the Minister stated information about anything relevant to the scheme’s ability to meet its liabilities and potential liabilities at a particular date or time or at particular intervals, including, for example, information about—

the scheme’s liabilities and potential liabilities; and

contributions to the scheme; and

administrative or other costs of the scheme; and

claims received by the scheme.

The notice must state a reasonable period for complying with the notice.

Without limiting subsection (1) (d), the notice may require information about—

the number of claims received by the scheme; and

the amount of each claim; and

the number of claims that have been paid; and

the amount paid on each claim; and

if a claim was rejected—the reason for its rejection.

The trustees of an approved scheme each commit an offence if the trustees fail to comply with a notice given to the trustees under this section.

An offence against this section is a strict liability offence.
