Queensland Consolidated Regulations Queensland Consolidated RegulationsSection 27(1) of the Code does not apply to the first payment of interest charges under a credit contract, but only if it relates to interest charges for a period that is less than the normal period for which interest charges are to be periodically debited to the debtor's account.
Note--
Section 27(1) of the Code provides that a credit provider must not require payment of or debit an interest charge at any time before the end of a day to which the interest charge applies. Section 27(3) of the Code authorises the making of regulations that exempt from that prohibition the first payment of interest charges.
