Power of Opal Mining Registrar to cancel tenement
27 Power of Opal Mining Registrar to cancel tenement
If the Opal Mining Registrar discovers or determines, after a tenement is registered, that the tenement should not have been registered under this Act on account of a contravention of, or failure to comply with, a provision or requirement of this Act on the part of the holder of the tenement, the Opal Mining Registrar may, by notice in writing to the holder of the tenement, give notice of his or her intention to cancel the registration of the tenement on a day specified in the notice (which must be at least
21 days after the date of the notice).
A person who receives a notice under subsection (1) may apply to the Warden's Court to have the decision of the Opal Mining Registrar reviewed.
An application for review must be made within 14 days of service of the notice (unless the Warden's Court allows an extension of time).
Pending the determination of an application for review, the Opal
Mining Registrar must not cancel the registration of the tenement.
At the conclusion of the review, the Warden's Court may—
confirm the decision of the Opal Mining Registrar; or
cancel the notice.
Subject to a decision of the Warden's Court under this section, the
Opal Mining Registrar may, after the day specified in a notice under this section, cancel the registration of the relevant tenement.
