Compensation for damage
765 Compensation for damage
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 division 2 or 4.
Without limiting subsection (1), compensation may be claimed for loss or expense incurred in complying with a requirement made of the person under the division.
Compensation may be claimed and ordered to be paid in a proceeding—
brought in a court with jurisdiction 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.
