Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | From awards, settlements and insurer letters the lawyer marks, list each payment, who paid it, the date it was received, and whether that date is before the scheme decision or an interim grant. Do not decide that a notice is due. |
| Lawyer | Set the scope, supervise the work closely, verify every part relied on, resolve omissions and exceptions, and approve the exact output. |
Checklist
- Section 141A applies if, before the application is decided under s 89 or interim assistance is granted under s 98, the applicant receives a relevant payment for the act of violence.
- Notice to the scheme manager is written or oral, within 28 days after receiving the payment, unless there is a reasonable excuse. The maximum penalty is 100 penalty units.
- The opened subsection does not define relevant payment. Do not invent the definition.
- The guide's offender-debt recovery is the State asking a convicted offender to repay the State. It is not a demand that the victim repay, and it is not this notice.
