• (2)

  Where the rent payable for a pastoral lease other-wise than under this Act is or was payable in respect of part only of the financial year or part of the financial year and some other period not included in the financial year, the rent shall be apportioned for the purpose of calculating the additional rent to be paid in respect of the financial year.

5Liability of former lessees

Where before the date on which the Administrator’s assent to this Act was declared a person had ceased to be the lessee of a pastoral lease, that person shall nevertheless be liable to pay the additional rent resulting from the application of the rental increase factor apportioned to the part of the financial year during which the person was the lessee.
