136D: Duration of accepted notice

"How long a formal warning about copyright lasts"

Illustration for Copyright Act 1994

You can think of an accepted notice like a formal warning. It stays in place for the time stated in the notice. It can be stopped if the person who made the claim cancels it in writing. It can also be stopped if a court orders it to be cancelled under section 141(1). You should also know that if the notice is suspended under section 136A, it is not in force during that time.
