Food Act 2006

A person bound by an order under this part who suffers loss because of the making of the order may apply to the chief executive for compensation if the person considers that there were insufficient grounds for the making of the order.

If there were insufficient grounds for the making of the order, the chief executive must pay the compensation to the applicant that is just and reasonable.

The chief executive must give notice about his or her decision about the payment of compensation under this section to each applicant for the payment of the compensation.

If the chief executive has not decided an application for compensation under this section within 28 days after receiving the application, the chief executive is taken to have decided to refuse to pay any compensation.

If the chief executive refuses an application for compensation or decides an amount of compensation less than that sought by the applicant, the notice must be a QCAT information notice.
