106M  Preliminary notice of debt

 (1) As soon as practicable after bringing a foreign boat to which this Subdivision applies to its processing place and after notice of seizure of the boat has been given under section 106C, an officer of AFMA must give written notice to the person:
 (a) who was the master of the boat immediately before its apprehension; or
 (b) whom the officer has reasonable grounds to believe was the master of the boat immediately before its apprehension;
of the fact that a debt for the pursuit costs has been incurred in respect of that boat.
However, if the officer cannot conveniently give the notice to the person in person, the officer may give notice of the debt in respect of the boat by fixing the notice to a prominent part of the boat.

 (2) The notice must:
 (a) state that a debt for pursuit costs has been incurred; and
 (b) specify the circumstances in which the debt has been incurred; and
 (c) state that full particulars of the pursuit costs will be provided in accordance with section 106N as soon as they are available and not later than 10 days after the date of giving the notice; and
 (d) indicate that, on provision of full particulars of the debt, the debt is required to be paid unless the owner of the boat informs the Managing Director of AFMA, within 30 days of those full particulars being provided under section 106N, that the owner will institute proceedings in the Federal Court to contest the debt; and
 (e) specify the address of the Managing Director of AFMA.
