New South Wales Consolidated Regulations

BUSINESS NAMES REGULATION 2004 - REG 12

12 Circumstances in which fees may be waived or refunded

(1) If a person’s application for registration of a business name is refused because of an order made under section 21 (1) of the Act, the Commissioner for Fair Trading, if a subsequent application for registration is made by the same person within one month after the refusal, may waive such part of the relevant fee for the subsequent application as exceeds the processing component of that fee.

(3) The Commissioner for Fair Trading may waive any fee that would otherwise be payable in connection with the administration of the Act, or refund any such fee that has been paid, if satisfied:

(a) that the fee relates to a matter that has arisen as a consequence of a failure in the operation of the registration procedures under the Act, or

(b) that it would be unfair, in the circumstances of the case, to require payment of the fee.
