Radiocommunications Act 1989

Registration

19: Failure to comply with requisition

You could also call this:

"What happens if you don't follow the Registrar's instructions to fix an issue with a lodged instrument?"

Illustration for Radiocommunications Act 1989

You must comply with a requisition made by the Registrar. The Registrar makes this requisition when something is wrong with an instrument you lodged under section 18. You will get a notice by post, delivery, or electronic transmission, like fax or email. If you do not comply with the requisition within the time the Registrar specifies, the Registrar can refuse to register the instrument. The Registrar can also stop doing anything with the instrument. The Registrar may return the instrument and other related instruments to you or someone else they think is entitled to receive them.
