Chemical Weapons (Prohibition) Act 1994

In a proceeding, the production of the Register of Permits and Notifications, or of a document certified by the Director to be a true copy of the Register, is prima facie evidence:

if the name of a person has been entered in the Register as the name of the person to whom a permit in relation to a facility and a year has been granted or transferred—that the person became the permit holder on the day entered on the Register as the day on which the grant or transfer took place; or

if the revocation of a permit granted in relation to a facility and a year is entered in the Register—that the permit was revoked on the day entered in the Register as the day of the revocation; or

if the name of a person has not been entered in the Register as the name of a person to whom a permit in relation to a facility and a year has been granted or transferred—that the person is not, and never has been, the holder of that permit; or

if the name of a person has been entered in the Register as the name of a person who notified a facility under section 29—that the person so notified the facility as the day specified in the Register as the day on which the notification was made; or

if the name of a person has not been entered in the Register as the name of a person who notified under section 29—that the person has not so notified the facility.

The production in a proceeding of a document purporting:

to be a copy of the Register; and

to be certified by the Director to be a true copy of the Register is prima facie evidence that it is such a copy and that it has been so certified.
