      Division 3

      Access to declared services

      Subdivision A

      Scope of Division

      44R Constitutional limits on operation of this Division

      This Division does not apply in relation to a third party’s access to a service unless:

      (a) the provider is a corporation (or a partnership or joint venture consisting wholly of corporations); or

      (b) the third party is a corporation; or

      (c) the access is (or would be) in the course of, or for the purposes of, constitutional trade or commerce.

      Subdivision B

      Notification of access disputes

      44S Notification of access disputes

      (1) If a third party is unable to agree with the provider on one or more aspects of access to a declared service, either the provider or the third party may notify the Commission in writing that an access dispute exists, but only to the extent that those aspects of access are not the subject of an access undertaking that is in operation in relation to the service.

      Note: An example of one of the things on which a provider and third party might disagree is whether a previous determination ought to be varied.

      (2) On receiving the notification, the Commission must give notice in writing of the access dispute to:

      (a) the provider, if the third party notified the access dispute;

      (b) the third party, if the provider notified the access dispute;

      (c) any other person whom the Commission thinks might want to become a party to the arbitration.

      44T Withdrawal of notifications

      (1) A notification may be withdrawn as follows (and not otherwise):

      (a) if the provider notified the dispute:

      (i) the provider may withdraw the notification at any time before the Commission makes its final determination;

      (ii) the third party may withdraw the provider’s notification at any time after the Commission issues a draft final determination, but before it makes its final determination;

      (b) if the third party notified the dispute, the third party may withdraw the notification at any time before the Commission makes its determination.

      (2) Despite subparagraph (1)(a)(ii), if the provider notified a dispute over variation of a final determination, the third party may not withdraw the provider’s notification.

      (3) If the notification is withdrawn, it is taken for the purposes of this Part never to have been given.

      Subdivision C

      Arbitration of access disputes

      44U Parties to the arbitration

      The parties to the arbitration of an access dispute are:

      (a) the provider;

      (b) the third party;

      (c) any other person who applies in writing to be made a party and is accepted by the Commission as having a sufficient interest.

      44V Determination by Commission

      (1) Unless it terminates the arbitration under section 44Y, 44YA, 44ZZCB or 44ZZCBA, the Commission:

      (a) must make a written final determination; and

      (b) may make a written interim determination;

      on access by the third party to the service.

      Note 1: There are time limits that apply to the Commission’s final determination: see section 44XA.

      Note 2: The Commission may defer arbitration of the access dispute if it is also considering an access undertaking: see section 44ZZCB.

      (2) A determination may deal with any matter relating to access by the third party to the service, including matters that were not the basis for notification of the dispute. By way of example, the determination may:

      (a) require the provider to provide access to the service by the third party;

      (b) require the third party to accept, and pay for, access to the service;

      (c) specify the terms and conditions of the third СКАЧАТЬ
