(b) Austrade has issued a notice that the CEO of Austrade has made a determination under paragraph 80 (1) (c) of the Act; and
(c) either:

(ii) any court or tribunal proceeding in relation to the correctness or validity of the determination has been finally determined.
B is the total of provisional grant amounts determined by Austrade, and set out in notices issued by Austrade, for all relevant applications for grants.
(2) For subsection (1), if:
(a) an applicant for grant becomes insolvent after the date of application for the grant; and
(b) the whole or a part of the provisional grant amount determined by Austrade is nil for that reason;
the part of the provisional grant that is nil, and the corresponding grant amount claimed, are to be disregarded.
(3) For subsection (1), if:
(a) an applicant for grant ceases to hold an ABN after the date of application for the grant; and
(b) the whole or a part of the provisional grant amount determined by Austrade is nil for that reason;

the part of the provisional grant that is nil, and the corresponding grant amount claimed, are to be disregarded.
(6) For subsection (1), if the provisional grant amount determined by the CEO of Austrade for a particular grant is greater than the amount claimed by the applicant, the grant amount is taken to be the amount claimed by the applicant.
