No 79 of 2010
, s 3 and Sch 1 item 2, effective 1 July 2010. For application provisions, see note under Div
8
heading. S 222AIG formerly read:
SECTION 222AIG REJECTION OF PROOF OF DEBT RELATING TO ESTIMATE
222AIG(1)
This section applies if the Commissioner lodges a proof of debt relating to the unpaid amount of an estimate.
222AIG(2)
The trustee of the person liable may reject the proof in whole on the ground that the underlying liability never existed or has been discharged in full, but may only do so if the trustee has given the Commissioner a statutory declaration that complies with section
222AIH
and verifies facts sufficient to prove that ground.
222AIG(3)
The trustee may reject the proof in part on the ground that the unpaid amount of the estimate exceeds the unpaid amount of the underlying liability, but may only do so if the trustee has given the Commissioner a statutory declaration that complies with section
222AIH
and verifies facts sufficient to prove that the unpaid amount of the underlying liability is a specified amount that is less than the unpaid amount of the estimate.
222AIG(4)
If the Commissioner appeals from, or applies for review of, the trustee's decision, nothing in subsection (2) or (3) prevents evidence being adduced to contradict statements in the declaration.
222AIG(5)
This subsection revokes the estimate if:
(a)
the trustee rejects the proof under subsection (2) on the ground that the underlying liability never existed; and
(b)
the Commissioner does not appeal from, or apply for review of, the trustee's decision, or the result of all appeals from, and applications for review of, the decision being finally determined or otherwise disposed of is that the proof is rejected in whole on that ground.
222AIG(6)
If:
(a)
the trustee:
(i)
rejects the proof under subsection (2) on the ground that the underlying liability has been discharged in full; or
(ii)
rejects the proof under subsection (3); and
(b)
the Commissioner does not appeal from, or apply for review of, the trustee's decision;
the amount of the estimate is reduced by so much of the unpaid amount of the estimate (immediately before the reduction) as is rejected.
Note:
The effect of subsection (6) is to reduce the unpaid amount of the estimate to nil if the proof is rejected in whole, and otherwise to the amount admitted to proof.
222AIG(7)
If:
(a)
the trustee rejects the proof under subsection (2) or (3); and
(b)
the Commissioner appeals from, or applies for review of, the trustee's decision and the result of all appeals from, and applications for review of, the decision being finally determined or otherwise disposed of is that the proof:
(i)
is rejected in whole on the ground that the underlying liability has been discharged in full; or
(ii)
is rejected in part;
the amount of the estimate is reduced by so much of the unpaid amount of the estimate (immediately before the reduction) as is rejected.
Note:
The effect of subsection (7) is to reduce the unpaid amount of the estimate to nil if the proof is rejected in whole, and otherwise to the amount admitted to proof.
