Late payments34

Where a licensee fails to make a levelisation payment to the Authority by the date required for such payment (“a late payment”), the Authority may suspend payment of a levelisation payment to which the licensee may be entitled (or part of such payment) until the late payment has been made.

Shortfalls in the levelisation fund35
