Power to correct decision
24 Power to correct decision
If the Commissioner decides an application and is later satisfied, independently of an objection under this Act, that the decision is incorrect, the Commissioner may vary or reverse the decision.
If, before a first home owner grant is paid to an applicant, the Commissioner is satisfied that —
the decision to authorise the payment is incorrect; and
the reversal of the decision would prejudice the applicant or another person because of having acted in reliance on that decision,
the Commissioner may authorise the payment to be made on condition that the applicant must within the period stated in the condition repay the amount of the grant.
Subject to subsection (4), a decision cannot be varied or reversed under this section more than 5 years after it was made.
If the Commissioner is satisfied that a decision was made on the basis of false or misleading information, the decision may be varied or reversed under this section at any time.
