166: Payment of fees

You could also call this:

“Fees must be paid to the Registrar before things can happen”

When you need to pay fees to the Board under this law, you must pay them to the Registrar. The Registrar will then immediately put the money into a bank account chosen by the Board.

If you haven’t paid a required fee to the Board, the Registrar can refuse to do anything related to that fee. This means they won’t act on anything, allow anything to happen, or accept any documents until you’ve paid the fee.
