cSA Amended Authority Form. Do not Sign.

Hi to everyonePlease do not sign the CSA's amended "Representative Authority" form, until you have had legal advice.Sue Price of the MRA spoke with me recently. After our discussions, I believe that there is some concern about the revised wording of the CSA’s newly amended "Representative Authority" form. www.csa.gov.au/forms/index.aspxhttp://www.csa.gov.au/forms/pdf/RepresentativeAuthority.pdfwww.csa.gov.au/forms/RepresentativeAuthority.aspxThis form has to signed by a person who represents another person in a child support matter. This person can be (and often is) a non-lawyer. The layout of the form suggests that the person who signs as a representative also accepts the potential liability of up to $2000, if the person that they are acting for has been found to have made a false statement.We would suggest any person who is considering signing this amended "Representative Authority" form, should obtain legal advice before so doing.RegardsJohn
