Lotteries Act 1997

A person may claim compensation from the State if the person incurs loss or expense because of the exercise or purported exercise of a power under any of the following subdivisions of division 2—

Without limiting subsection (1), compensation may be claimed for loss or expense incurred in complying with a requirement made of the person under the subdivision.

Compensation may be claimed and ordered in a proceeding—

brought in a court with jurisdiction in proceedings for the recovery of the amount of compensation claimed; or

for an offence against this Act brought against the person claiming compensation.

A court may order compensation to be paid only if it is satisfied it is just to make the order in the circumstances of the particular case.

A regulation may prescribe matters that may, or must, be taken into account by the court when considering whether it is just to make the order.
