87: Person claiming under operation of law may apply to have interest registered

You could also call this:

"Apply to claim your share of radio frequencies if you think the law says you own them"

Illustration for Radiocommunications Act 1989

You can apply to have your interest registered if you think you are entitled to it by operation of law. You need to fill out the prescribed form and give it to the Registrar. You must also provide evidence to support your application. You have to give enough evidence to prove you are entitled to be registered. This is so the Registrar can decide if you should be registered as a manager or rightholder. You cannot apply if your entitlement happened before the Radiocommunications Act 1989 started. You should only apply if you think you are entitled to be registered as a manager or rightholder of radio frequencies. The Registrar will look at your application and the evidence you provide. You can only apply for entitlements that happened after the Radiocommunications Act 1989 commenced.
