Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) If any doubt or
dispute arises as to the right or title of any person to receive any
compensation awarded under this Part, or any purchase-money or compensation
agreed to be paid by an acquiring authority under Part 9 or this Part —
(a) in
the case of compensation awarded by the State Administrative Tribunal or a
court hearing an action for compensation under section 202, the acquiring
authority may, within the period of 30 days after the award is made, pay the
sum awarded into the Supreme Court; and
(b) in
the case of purchase-money, or compensation agreed to be paid, the acquiring
authority may pay the moneys into the Supreme Court.
(2) The Supreme Court,
on the application of any person interested, is to make such orders as to the
distribution of the moneys as it thinks just and equitable, and the Principal
Registrar of the Supreme Court is to deal with and pay the moneys in
accordance with the order.
(3) In the hearing of
an application under subsection (2), the Supreme Court may make any order in
relation to any costs that have been incurred in relation to the claim,
whether before the State Administrative Tribunal, the court hearing an action
for compensation, or the Supreme Court, that seems just and equitable to the
Court, and may vary or revoke any order as to costs previously made by the
State Administrative Tribunal or a court hearing an action for compensation.
