60C: Indirect applications

You could also call this:

"Asking someone for something that needs approval from someone else is called an indirect application"

When you ask someone for something, and they need permission from someone else to do it, you are involved in what is called an indirect application. If the person you ask needs to get approval from someone covered by section 60A, then the rules in section 60B apply to you. This means you are treated as if you had asked the person covered by section 60A directly for the approval or permission.

If someone else makes an application to a person covered by section 60A because of your request, then section 60B applies to you. You are treated as if you had made the application to the person covered by section 60A yourself. This also applies if someone makes an application to the Minister because of your request.
