Illustration for Fisheries Act 1996

You can apply to correct the register if you think it has incorrect information. You can do this if you have presented an instrument for registration under section 157 or if you have a registered interest in the quota shares or annual catch entitlement. You need to apply to the chief executive to correct the record on the register. You must make your application within 14 days after the registration notice is sent to you under section 159(b). Your application must be in the approved form, if there is one. You also need to include a copy of the registration notice that relates to the record you want to correct, which was issued under section 159(1)(b). You can apply to correct the register if it does not accurately record the particulars or is incorrect for any other reason specified in regulations made under section 297.
