(1) This section
applies in relation to an authorisation other than a commercial or
recreational fishing licence.
(2) On the death of an
individual who, immediately before death, held an authorisation exclusively or
as a tenant in common, the authorisation or the deceased’s share in the
authorisation (as the case requires) is taken to be held by the
deceased’s personal representative.
(3) On the death of an
individual who, immediately before death, held an authorisation as a joint
tenant, the authorisation is taken to be held by the surviving joint tenants.
(4) A transfer made or
purportedly made under section 140 in respect of an authorisation, or a share
in an authorisation, held by an individual who died before the commencement of
the Fish Resources Management Amendment Act 2011 section 51 is, and is taken
always to have been, as valid as it would have been if the amendments effected
by that section had been in effect at the time of the individual’s
death.
