RKQ,
Well done. This is why I post and read AAM - an excellent reference. Thanks your up-to-the-minute advice - filed away. Its good to see economic circumstance is being taken into account now. There may be implications for enforcement if matters are significantly delayed.
However I have a query. The below wording is what the Regulation you refer to above says, but I am unsure where to find Section 42A of the Act. The references in bold below show it isn't a typo. Can you assist? The parliamentary draughtsmen seem to be adding letters to sections a lot.
