Electricity Act 1994

This section applies if—

before the expiry, a person (the applicant) made an application (the review application) under chapter 10 for—

an internal review of a relevant decision of the regulator; or

an external review by QCAT of a decision made under section 218 relating to a relevant decision of the regulator; and

at the expiry, the review application has not been finally dealt with.

The review application must be decided or otherwise dealt with under chapter 10.

For the purposes of subsection (2)—

this Act as in force immediately before the expiry continues to apply; and

if the applicant is unsuccessful in the review application, the applicant is liable for the civil penalty under former section 135EY.

However, the regulator may, if the regulator considers it reasonable to do so, impose a civil penalty of an amount less than the amount of the civil penalty calculated under former section 135F.

In this section—relevant decision, of the regulator, means a decision of the regulator mentioned in former schedule 1, part 2, division 2.
