Legal Opinion (16)

In some circumstances AUTEC may require that the applicant seek a legal opinion. Before such an opinion is sought, the applicant should consult the General Manager. The General Manager will decide whether the cost of the opinion is to be paid wholly by the applicant, the University or shared by both. If the cost is to be shared the General Manager will decide the appropriate apportionment. Neither departments nor faculties will be liable for the costs of legal opinions unless the head of department, or the dean, has given written permission prior to the seeking of that opinion.
