10A. Charges and other terms for services provided by Postal Authority
Feedback & supportLast amended by an amending law of 2007.
The Postal Authority may make, in relation to any service provided by the Postal Authority under this Act, a scheme or schemes for determining either or both of the following:
the charges which, except insofar as they are the subject of an agreement between the Postal Authority and a person availing himself, herself or itself of the service, are to be made by the Postal Authority;
the other terms and conditions which, except as provided, are to be applicable to the service.
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.
A charge exigible by virtue of this section may be recovered by the Postal Authority in any court of competent jurisdiction as if it were a simple contract debt.
A scheme or any amendment thereof made under this section comes into operation on a date that the Postal Authority determines.
Nothing in this section is to be construed as prohibiting the Postal 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 Postal Authority for any service rendered must be in accordance with such rates, charges and fees as may, from time to time, be determined by the Postal Authority.
