104: Recovery of fees and other money

You could also call this:

"Paying back money you owe the government under the Crown Minerals Act"

Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

If you owe the Crown money under the Crown Minerals Act, you have to pay it back. The Crown can take you to court to get the money, just like anyone else who is owed money. You can be taken to any court that has the power to deal with this kind of case. When you pay fees under this Act, you must put the money into a Departmental Bank Account. If you owe the Crown any other money, you must put it into a Crown Bank Account. If you are charged interest on fees, you must also pay this interest into a Crown Bank Account.
