52: Matters to be included in determination

You could also call this:

"What to include when deciding the price of a service"

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

When a pricing review determination is made, it must include the price you pay for a certain service. This price is decided based on a final pricing principle, which can be affected by clause 2 or clause 3 of Schedule 1. The determination must also consider any regulations or requirements of the Commission.

The determination must also include any decisions made about matters that relate to the price payable for the service under section 48(b). It must also state the terms and conditions of the determination. You will be told what actions you must do or not do.

The determination must also include the date when it will expire. This means you will know when the rules will change. The Commission makes these decisions to ensure the service is fair and reasonable.
