Remedial measures may be taken by Minister
336H Remedial measures may be taken by Minister
If a person refuses or fails to take one or more remedial measures, the Minister may, by instrument, appoint a person to take the measures.
Before making an appointment under this section, the Minister must give the person to whom the direction was given reasonable notice of the Minister’s intention to make the appointment.
Costs and expenses incurred by an authorised person in taking remedial measures are recoverable from the person to whom the direction was given in a court of competent jurisdiction as a debt due to the Ministerial Corporation.
