50 . Recovering amounts from officers liable under s. 49
(1) The amount that an
officer is liable to pay under section 49 is recoverable as a debt due to the
relevant authority in a court of competent jurisdiction.

authority is not entitled to recover amounts from the same person under both
section 49(2) and (4) for the same loss.
(3) In proceedings to
recover an amount that an officer is liable to pay under section 49, the
amount for which the officer is liable according to a determination under

pay.
(4) Section 49 does
not affect a right of a relevant authority to recover an amount from an
officer otherwise than under that section, but the relevant authority is not
entitled to recover amounts under both section 49 and otherwise than under
that section for the same loss.
