FISH RESOURCES MANAGEMENT ACT 1994 - SECT 71
71 . Prior fishing confers no right to authorisation
(1) The fact that a
person engaged in fishing, or used any boat for fishing, in a fishery before a
management plan was determined for the fishery is not to be taken as
conferring upon that person any right to the grant of an authorisation if a
management plan is determined for that fishery.
(2) Despite subsection
(1), the CEO is to take into account a person’s past history of fishing
in a fishery when determining whether or not to grant the person an
authorisation.
[Section 71 amended: No. 28 of 2006 s. 236(1).]
