Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Regulations 1995

For paragraph 121(4)(a) of the Code, the legal personal representative of a licence holder who dies is an exempt person in relation to the manufacture of a product the production of which is authorised by the licence, subject to the following conditions:

that he or she gives the APVMA notice, in writing, of the grant of probate or administration not later than 3 months after it occurs;

that he or she complies with the terms of the licence as if he or she were the holder of the licence;

that he or she complies with the Code and these Regulations as if he or she were the holder of the licence.

The trustee in bankruptcy of a licence holder is an exempt person in relation to the manufacture of a product the production of which is authorised by the licence, subject to the following conditions:

that he or she gives the APVMA notice, in writing, of the bankruptcy not later than 3 months after it occurs;

that he or she complies with the terms of the licence as if he or she were the holder of the licence;

that he or she complies with the Code and these Regulations as if he or she were the holder of the licence.

An exemption under this regulation has no effect if the licence issued to the deceased person or the bankrupt (as the case may be) is not in force.

If the APVMA reasonably requires the legal personal representative or trustee in bankruptcy to provide further information, or documents, relating to a grant of probate or letters of administration, or a trusteeship (as the case requires), and that request is not complied with within the time allowed by the APVMA, the exemption ceases to have effect at the end of that time.

The time allowed to comply with a request under subregulation (4) must not be shorter than 1 month from the date of the request.
