 (e) if:
 (i) the Registrar is not satisfied that there are exceptional circumstances; and
 (ii) no unpaid amounts are payable under the liability in relation to the period of 3 months that ended at the end of the maximum arrears period;
  the Registrar must refuse to grant the payee's application.

Consequences of successful application
 (6) If the Registrar grants the payee's application:
 (a) this Act has effect as if:
 (i) the unpaid amounts were payable under the liability in relation to the child support enforcement period that began on the day on which the liability first became enforceable under this Act as a result of the operation of paragraph 28(1)(c); and
 (ii) the unpaid amounts became child support debts at the time when the liability became enforceable as a result of the operation of paragraph 28(1)(c); and
 (b) the Registrar must make such variations to the particulars entered in the Child Support Register in relation to the liability as the Registrar considers necessary or desirable to give effect to this subsection.

Amounts that would have been credited under section 71C
 (7) To avoid doubt, a reference in this section to an unpaid amount payable under a liability does not include a reference to any amount that would have been credited against that unpaid amount under section 71C if the liability had been an enforceable maintenance liability at all relevant times.
