153BAB  References relating to declaration of collecting society

 (1) This section has effect if the Minister refers to the Copyright Tribunal under section 135P an application of a body to be declared the collecting society.

 (2) The parties to the reference are the applicant and any person made a party by the Tribunal.

 (3) The Tribunal may make a person a party if:
 (a) the person asks to be made a party; and
 (b) the Tribunal thinks that the person has a sufficient interest in the question whether the applicant should be declared to be the collecting society (including whether subsection 135P(2) prevents the applicant from being declared to be the collecting society because another body is declared to be the collecting society).

 (4) After giving each party an opportunity of presenting its case, the Tribunal must:
 (a) declare the applicant to be the collecting society under section 135P; or
 (b) reject the application.

 (5) If the Tribunal declares the applicant to be the collecting society under section 135P, the Registrar must publish notice of the declaration in the Gazette.
