Family Responsibilities Commission Act 2008

Subject to subsections (2) and (3), if the commission fails to decide an application within 2 months after its receipt, the failure is taken to be a decision by the commission to refuse to amend or end the family responsibilities agreement or family responsibilities order.

Subsection (3) applies if—

a person has made an application under division 1; and

the commission has, under section 100, required the person to give the commission further information or a document.

The commission is taken to have refused to amend or end the family responsibilities agreement or family responsibilities order if the commission does not decide the application within 2 months after the commission receives the further information or document, verified, if required, by statutory declaration.

If the application is refused under this section, the applicant is entitled to be given an appeal notice for the decision.
