             (1)  This section applies if:

                     (a)  it is necessary or convenient to determine a question to facilitate future compliance by an administering body or a collecting society with:

                              (i)  section 135ZJ, 135ZK, 135ZL, 135ZMC, 135ZMD, 135ZMDA, 135ZP, 135ZQ, 135ZS or 135ZT; or

                     (c)  determination of the question affects both the administering body and the collecting society.

             (2)  The question must be determined by agreement between the collecting society and the administering body or, failing such agreement, by the Tribunal on the application of either of them.

             (3)  If, during a period, the administering body does not comply with the agreement or order of the Tribunal determining the question, sections 135ZJ, 135ZK, 135ZL, 135ZMC, 135ZMD, 135ZMDA, 135ZP, 135ZQ, 135ZS and 135ZT do not apply to a reproduction, copy or communication of a work or other subject-matter made during that period by or on behalf of the administering body.
