Determinations of the Federal Court Part 4 Orders Division 3 Section 94C (1G) The regulations may prescribe circumstances in which future act requirements are satisfied in relation to a future act notice given under alternative provisions. (2) The Court must not dismiss the application without first ensuring that the person is given a reasonable opportunity to present his or her case about why the application should not be dismissed. (3) The Court must not dismiss the application if there are compelling reasons not to do so. However, the fact that: (a) a subsequent future act notice has been given that specifies all or part of an area that is included in the area covered by the application; and (b) paragraph (1)(d) is not satisfied in relation to each future act identified in the subsequent future act notice; is not, of itself, a compelling reason. (4) To avoid doubt, the Court’s dismissal of an application under this section does not affect any rights, liabilities or obligations of a person under: (a) an agreement of the kind mentioned in paragraph 31(1)(b); or (b) a determination made under subsection 32(4) or section 36A, 38 or 42; or (c) an agreement made in accordance with, or a determination made under, any alternative provisions that are equivalent to the provisions mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b). (5) To avoid doubt, this section does not affect the Court’s power to dismiss an application under the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976.
