Disputing claim that conviction relates to act of violence
116 Disputing claim that conviction relates to act of violence
This section applies if a person who is given a notice under section 115 disputes the claim mentioned in the notice that the offence of which the person has been convicted is a relevant offence for the act of violence for which the assistance was granted.
The person may, within 14 days of being given the notice, give notice of the dispute (the dispute notice) to the scheme manager.
The dispute notice must state the facts relied on by the person to dispute the claim.
After considering the dispute notice, the scheme manager must decide whether the offence is a relevant offence for the act of violence for which the assistance was granted.
The scheme manager must give the person notice of the scheme manager’s decision.
If the scheme manager’s decision is that the offence is a relevant offence for the act of violence for which the assistance was granted, the notice given under subsection (5) must be a QCAT information notice.
The person may apply, as provided under the QCAT Act, to QCAT for a review of the scheme manager’s decision.
