MIGRATION ACT 1958 - SECT 3B Compensation for acquisition of property
MIGRATION ACT 1958 - SECT 3B
Compensation for acquisition of property(a) this Act would result in an acquisition of property; and
(b) any provision of this Act would not be valid, apart from this section, because a particular person has not been compensated;
the Commonwealth must pay that person:
(c) a reasonable amount of compensation agreed on between the person and the Commonwealth; or
(d) failing agreement--a reasonable amount of compensation determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(2) Any damages or compensation recovered, or other remedy given, in a proceeding begun otherwise than under this section must be taken into account in assessing compensation payable in a proceeding begun under this section and arising out of the same event or transaction.
"acquisition of property" has the same meaning as in paragraph 51(xxxi)
of the Constitution.
