Enforcement
Part 5 of the Act contains provisions relating to the enforcement of the subsidy control requirements. Interested parties will be able to apply to the CAT to review a decision to give a subsidy or make a subsidy scheme (a ‘subsidy decision’). The CAT will apply the same principles when hearing an application for review as would be applied by the High Court on application for judicial review and will be able to grant the same types of relief as are available in such proceedings. In addition, the CAT will be able to make a recovery order if a subsidy control decision is found to have breached the subsidy control requirements in Chapters 1 and 2 of Part 2. The Act also amends the Tribunal Procedure Rules to make provision as to the time limits within which a claim needs to be made and the forum for appealing points of law arising from a decision of the CAT.
	Part 5 also imposes a duty on public authorities to provide certain information to interested parties about a subsidy or subsidy scheme. An interested party may request the information for the purpose of deciding whether to apply to the CAT for a review of a subsidy or scheme on the grounds that it failed to comply with the relevant subsidy control requirements. Part 5 also gives public authorities a right to recover subsidies that are misused by a beneficiary of the subsidy.
