the other terms and conditions which, except as provided, are to be applicable to the service.
(2)
A scheme made under this section may make different provision for different cases or classes of cases determined by, or in accordance with, the provisions of the scheme.
(3)
A charge exigible by virtue of this section may be recovered by the Authority in any court of competent jurisdiction as if it were a simple contract debt.
(4)
A scheme or any amendment of the scheme made under this section comes into operation on such date as may be determined by the Authority.
(5)
This section does not prohibit the Authority from levying any charge or collecting any dues for anything done or any service rendered by reason only of not being incorporated in a scheme, and the rates, charges and fees payable to the Authority for any service rendered must be in accordance with such rates, charges and fees as may be determined by the Authority.
(6)
The rates, charges and fees applied by the TAS immediately before 1 December 1999 continue to be valid as though determined by the Authority under this section until rescinded, varied or otherwise determined by the Authority.[11
