Compliance with directions
102 Compliance with directions
Where a person does not comply with a direction given to the person under this part or the regulations the Minister may do all or any of the things required by the direction to be done.
Costs and expenses incurred by the Minister under subsection (1) in relation to a direction are a debt due by the person to whom the direction was given to the State and are recoverable in a court of competent jurisdiction.
It is a defence if a person charged with failing to comply with a direction given to the person under this part or under the regulations or a defendant in an action under subsection (2) proves that he or she took all reasonable steps to comply with the direction.
