10      Penalties for loss or destruction of borrowed library items

(1)    This section makes provision for the Information Infrastructure and Services Rule, section 28(1)(b) (Loss or destruction of borrowed items).

(2)    The penalty payable by a person to the University for the loss or destruction of an item borrowed from a Library collection is the total of the following components:

(a)    a replacement cost component of $110 or, if in the University Librarian's opinion this amount is insufficient to cover the cost to the Library of replacing the item, the higher amount that the University Librarian considers necessary to cover the cost to the Library of replacing the item;

(b)    an administrative cost component of $110.
            [Note: All amounts mentioned in this section and section 11 (Penalties for damage to library items etc.) are GST inclusive.]

(3)    However, if the item is subsequently returned to the Library, the administrative cost component of the penalty remains payable, but:

(a)    if the item has not yet been replaced by the Library—the amount of the penalty payable for the item is reduced by the amount of the replacement cost component of the penalty; or

(b)    if the item has already been replaced by the Library—the replacement cost component of the penalty is the amount actually incurred by the Library in replacing the item.
