13  Deferral of payment of fees
 (1) Section 12A does not apply to a fee if a Registrar defers the payment of the fee.
 (2) The Registrar may defer the payment of a fee under subsection (1) if:
 (a) the fee is a filing fee or a hearing fee; and
 (b) in the Registrar's opinion, the need to file the document or hear the proceeding is so urgent that it overrides the requirement to pay the fee when the fee would otherwise be payable.
 (3) If the payment of a fee is deferred, the fee must be paid:
 (a) within 28 days after the day the payment is deferred; or
 (b) within another period approved, in writing, by the Registrar for the payment of that fee.
 (4) A fee can be deferred under this section only once.
