Race and Sports Bookmaking Act 2001

If a backer refers a betting dispute to the commission, the commission may, by written notice, require the backer to give the commission stated information that the commission reasonably requires about the dispute within 14 days after the backer is given the notice or any longer period allowed by the commission.

Note For how documents may be given, see Legislation Act, pt 19.5.

The notice must include a statement to the effect that the referral may be rejected if the backer fails to comply with the notice within the 14 day period or any longer period allowed by the commission.

If the backer fails to give the required information to the commission within the 14 day period or any longer period allowed by the commission, the commission may reject the referral by a written notice to the backer that states the reason for the rejection.

Note Under pt 10 (Notification and review of decisions), a decision to reject a referral may, on application, be reconsidered by the commission and reviewed by the ACAT.

The notice must also include a statement to the effect that the backer may make written representations to the commission about the betting dispute within 14 days or any longer period allowed by the commission.
