Commission’s directions about disputed bets
60 Commission’s directions about disputed bets
On referral of a betting dispute to the commission, the commission must give a written direction about the dispute as soon as practicable.
Note Under pt 10 (Notification and review of decisions), a decision to give a direction may, on application, be reconsidered by the commission and reviewed by the ACAT.
However, the commission must not give the direction until it has taken into account any representations made in accordance with the statement mentioned in section 58 (4) or 59 (4).
The direction must be signed by the chief executive officer and state that, in relation to the dispute, the bookmaker—
owes to the backer the amount stated in the direction; or
does not owe any amount to the backer.
The commission must give the backer and the bookmaker a copy of the direction and a statement of the reasons for the direction.
In a proceeding or arbitration between the backer and the bookmaker about the disputed bet, a direction that appears to be signed by the chief executive officer—
may be tendered in evidence without being proved; and
must be accepted as proof of the matters stated in it if there is no evidence to the contrary.
