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 by No. 28 of 2006 s. 236(1).]
