(3)

A court fine enforcement order may be made in the absence of, and without notice to, the person liable to pay the fine.

The Commissioner may, but is not required to, make a court fine enforcement order if a fine to which it is to apply has previously been the subject of a court fine enforcement order in respect of which any enforcement action has been taken.

Any amount recovered in consequence of the making of a court fine enforcement order (other than for enforcement costs) is to be dealt with in the same way as if the amount had been paid on the imposition of the fine.

s 15: Am 2004 No 43, Sch 1 [4]; 2008 No 40, Sch 1 [1].

    an amount may be prescribed as the enforcement costs payable to the Commissioner on the making of the order,

  • (b)

    an amount may be prescribed as the enforcement costs payable to Transport for NSW if any enforcement action is taken by Transport for NSW under Division 3 of Part 4 before payment is made under the order,

  • (c)

    an amount may be prescribed as the enforcement costs payable into the Consolidated Fund if any civil enforcement action is taken by the Sheriff or other official before payment is made under the order.

(3)

Any amount recovered in consequence of the making of a court fine enforcement order is to be applied firstly towards enforcement costs payable under this section or section 76A and the balance towards the amount payable under the fine.

s 16: Am 1998 No 35, Sch 1 [8] [9]; 2011 No 41, Sch 5.6 [1] [2]; 2013 No 82, Sch 1 [5]; 2017 No 6, Sch 1 [2].

17Withdrawal of order(1)

The Commissioner may, on application or the Commissioner’s own initiative, withdraw a court fine enforcement order if satisfied that—

    a fine to which it applies has previously been the subject of a court fine enforcement order in respect of which any enforcement action has been taken, or

  • (b)

    the person named in the court fine enforcement order is not the same person as the person in respect of whom a fine to which it applies was imposed, or

  • (c)

    the order was otherwise made in error.

(2)

A court fine enforcement order must be withdrawn if application for its withdrawal is made by the registrar who referred the matter to the Commissioner.

(3)

A court fine enforcement order may be withdrawn completely or only to the extent of some of the fines to which it applies.

(4)

If a court fine enforcement order is withdrawn completely—

  • (a)

    the order then ceases to have effect, and

  • (b)

    any enforcement action already taken is to be reversed, unless the same enforcement action is authorised under another court fine enforcement order or penalty notice enforcement order, and

  • (c)

    enforcement costs are not payable in respect of the issue of the order and, if paid, are repayable.

(4A)

If a court fine enforcement order is withdrawn only to the extent of some of the fines to which it applies—

  • (a)

    the order continues to have effect in respect of the remaining fines to which it applies, and

  • (b)

    any amount that has been paid under the order is to be applied to payment of the remaining fines to which it applies and any enforcement costs in respect of that order.

(5)

The withdrawal of a court fine enforcement order does not prevent the making of a further order in respect of the fine.

(6), (7)

(Repealed)

Note.

The Commissioner may, instead of repaying an amount under this section, reallocate it towards the payment of other amounts payable by the person (see section 122C).

s 17: Am 1998 No 35, Sch 1 [10]; 2004 No 43, Sch 1 [5]; 2009 No 51, Sch 2 [2]; 2013 No 82, Sch 1 [5] [10] [11]; 2019 No 13, Sch 1[8].

18Special provision relating to certain victims support levies(1)

This section applies to a victims support levy if the person liable to pay the levy (the offender) has been sentenced to a term of imprisonment by way of full-time detention in respect of the conviction that gave rise to the imposition of the levy (whether or not the sentence is consecutive with another sentence or concurrent with another sentence or partly consecutive and partly concurrent).

(2)

However, this section does not apply if the relevant sentence has been suspended.

(3)

Despite the other provisions of this Division, a victims support levy to which this section applies that is not paid by the due date may be enforced by deducting the amount due from the offender’s prison earnings.

(4)

The appropriate deduction is to be made by the Commissioner of Corrective Services or the governor of the correctional centre in which the offender is imprisoned.

(5)

Money may be deducted from prison earnings in accordance with this section despite the provisions of any other Act or law.

(6)

Any amount of a victims support levy to which this section applies that remains unpaid when the offender is discharged from the correctional centre, or released on parole, is taken to have been satisfied.

(7)

Subsection (6) applies even if the offender’s parole is subsequently revoked.

(8)

In this section, a reference to an offender’s prison earnings is a reference to the payments (if any) to be made to the offender under section 7 of the Crimes (Administration of Sentences) Act 1999 and to any remuneration earned by the offender as a participant in an external work release program (within the meaning of section 7A of that Act).

    A reviewing agency may conduct a review of the decision to issue the penalty notice, including after a penalty notice enforcement order has been made. After conducting a review, the agency may withdraw the penalty notice or penalty notice enforcement order or confirm the decision. If the decision is confirmed, the agency may serve a penalty reminder notice or, if a penalty notice enforcement order has been made, take enforcement action (see Division 2A).

If the person does not pay the amount (including enforcement costs) within 28 days, enforcement action authorised by this Act may be taken in the same way as action may be taken for the enforcement of a fine imposed on a person after a court hearing for the offence (see Part 4).

  • (e)Withdrawal of enforcement order

    A penalty notice enforcement order may, on application or the Commissioner’s own initiative, be withdrawn by the Commissioner (see Division 5).

  • (f)Annulment of enforcement order

    the person to whom the penalty notice was issued is unable, because the person has an intellectual disability, a mental illness, a cognitive impairment or is homeless—

    • (i)

      to understand that the person’s conduct constituted an offence, or

    • (ii)

      to control such conduct,

  • (e)

    an official caution should have been given instead of a penalty notice, having regard to the relevant guidelines under section 19A,

  • (f)

    any other ground prescribed by the regulations.

24FAction to be taken if decision to issue penalty notice is confirmed(1)

If, after a review under this Division, a reviewing agency confirms a decision to issue a penalty notice in respect of an offence by a person (and the whole amount payable under the notice has not been paid), it must, in accordance with Division 3, serve a penalty reminder notice in respect of the offence on the person.

Note.

Accordingly, the time for making an election to have a matter dealt with by a court under section 36 (2) will be on or before the due date for payment specified in the penalty reminder notice served under this section.

(2)

A penalty reminder notice served under subsection (1) replaces any previous penalty reminder notice in respect of the offence.

(3)

This section does not apply if—

  • (a)

    a penalty notice enforcement order has been made in respect of the offence, or

  • (b)

    the person has elected to have the matter dealt with by a court under section 23A or 36.

Note.

If a penalty notice enforcement order has been made in relation to a penalty notice and the decision to issue the penalty notice is confirmed in a review under this Division, enforcement action may be taken against the person under Part 4.

s 24F: Ins 2008 No 110, Sch 1 [10]. Am 2012 No 61, Sch 1 [5] [6]; 2019 No 13, Sch 1[18].

24GEffect of withdrawal of penalty notice(1)

If a reviewing agency withdraws a penalty notice, following a review under this Division or otherwise, it may, if it considers it appropriate to do so, give an official caution to the person in accordance with Division 1A as if it were an appropriate officer.

(2)

If a penalty notice is withdrawn—

  • (a)

    any penalty reminder notice or penalty notice enforcement order, in respect of the offence to which the penalty notice relates, is also taken to be withdrawn, and

  • (b)

    if all or part of the amount under the penalty notice or penalty reminder notice has been paid—

    • (i)

      any action taken to record demerit points against a person in the NSW demerit points register kept under the Road Transport Act 2013 because of that payment is to be reversed, and any driver licence affected as a consequence of the recording of the demerit points is to be restored (subject to any other matters affecting the licence), by Transport for NSW from the date of the withdrawal of the penalty notice, and

    • (ii)

      the amount that has been paid is repayable to the person by whom it was paid.

s 24G: Ins 2008 No 110, Sch 1 [10]. Am 2011 No 41, Sch 5.6 [1]; 2012 No 61, Sch 1 [3]; 2013 No 19, Sch 4.21 [4]; 2015 No 65, Sch 2 [2]; 2019 No 13, Sch 1[19].

24HAgency may review a decision on its own motion(1)

Nothing in this Division limits the power of a reviewing agency to review a decision to issue a penalty notice, or withdraw a penalty notice, on its own motion.

(2)

If a reviewing agency withdraws a penalty notice on its own motion after the amount under the penalty notice (or a penalty reminder notice in respect of the offence to which the penalty notice relates) has been paid, no person is liable to any further proceedings for the alleged offence.

Division 3Penalty reminder notices25What is a penalty reminder notice?

A penalty reminder notice is a notice (and any matter annexed to, or enclosed with, a notice) served on a person to whom a penalty notice (and any matter annexed to, or enclosed with, a notice) has been issued and containing the matters required by this Division.

s 25: Am 1998 No 172, Sch 2 [1]; 2016 No 39, Sch 1 [17].

26When a penalty reminder notice may be sent

An appropriate officer may serve a penalty reminder notice on a person to whom a penalty notice was issued if it appears to the officer that the full amount payable under the penalty notice has not been paid within the time required by the notice.

s 26: Am 2008 No 40, Sch 1 [5]; 2016 No 39, Sch 1 [18].

27What a penalty reminder notice must say(1)

A penalty reminder notice must inform the person on whom it is served—

  • (a)

    that the person has until the due date specified in the notice to pay the full amount (or, if one or more part payments of that full amount have been paid, the remaining amount) for the offence specified in the notice, and

  • (a1)

    of the steps to be taken for seeking a review of the decision to issue the penalty notice, and

  • (b)

    of enforcement action that may be taken under this Act if the full amount is not paid by the due date, and

  • (c)

    of additional enforcement costs that become payable under this Act if enforcement action is taken.

(2)

If there is an approved form for a penalty reminder notice, a penalty reminder notice must be in that form.

(3)

The inclusion in a penalty reminder notice of additional information and directions for the assistance or guidance of the person on whom it is served does not affect the validity of the penalty reminder notice.

s 27: Am 1998 No 35, Sch 1 [12]; 2008 No 40, Sch 1 [5] [6]; 2008 No 110, Sch 1 [11]; 2010 No 59, Sch 1.12 [3].

28Service of penalty reminder notices(1)

A penalty reminder notice may be served on a person—

  • (a)

    personally, or

  • (b)

    by post, or

  • (c)

    by means of a document exchange, or

  • (d)

    in an approved electronic manner, or

  • (e)

    by any other manner prescribed by the regulations.

(2)

The address for personal service or service by post or document exchange of a penalty reminder notice includes—

  • (a)

    the address of the person shown on the relevant penalty notice or supplied by the person in connection with the issue of the relevant penalty notice, or

  • (b)

    if the relevant penalty notice was issued to the person in his or her capacity as owner or responsible person for a vehicle or owner of a vessel or was issued by being left on a vehicle or vessel—the address shown in the records of Transport for NSW or other public agency as the address of the owner or responsible person at the time the relevant penalty notice was issued, or

  • (c)

    if the relevant penalty notice was issued to the person in his or her capacity as the person driving or in charge of a vehicle or vessel—the address specified in a notice given under section 38 (1) (a) as the address of the person in charge of the vehicle or vessel at the time of the alleged offence, or

  • (d)

    any other address supplied by the person in connection with a fines application made in relation to the fine concerned or another fine.

  • (b)

    an application for a work and development order,

29Time for service of penalty reminder notices by post

Despite any other provision of this Act, it is presumed that a penalty reminder notice sent to a person by post is served on the person 7 days after it is posted, unless the person establishes that it was not served within that 7-day period.

30Due date for payment in penalty reminder notices(1)

The due date for payment in a penalty reminder notice must be at least 21 days after it is served on the person.

(2)

Accordingly, a penalty reminder notice that is posted may specify a date that is at least 28 days after the penalty reminder notice is posted as the due date for making the payment concerned.

31Extension of due date if notice takes more than 7 days(1)

If a penalty reminder notice is served on a person more than 7 days after it was posted, the notice is not invalid merely because it specifies as the due date a date that is less than 21 days after it was served on the person.

(2)

In such a case however, the due date is extended to a date that is 21 days after the penalty reminder notice was served and the penalty reminder notice is taken to specify that date as the due date.

32Effect of penalty reminder notice on payment time in penalty notice

If a penalty reminder notice is served on a person, the time for payment of the amount payable under the penalty notice for the offence concerned is extended to the due date specified in the penalty reminder notice for payment.

33Payment under penalty reminder notice(1)

Payment of the amount payable under the penalty notice to which a penalty reminder notice relates may be made in accordance with the penalty notice.

(2)

A person may pay the amount by part payments. However, the full amount payable under a penalty notice is to be paid within the time required by the penalty reminder notice.

s 33: Am 2008 No 40, Sch 1 [8]; 2016 No 39, Sch 1 [20].

34Effect of payment under penalty reminder notice

Payment of the full amount payable under the penalty notice to which a penalty reminder notice relates has the same effect as payment in accordance with the penalty notice.

s 34: Am 2008 No 40, Sch 1 [5].

35Alleged offender’s right to elect to have matter dealt with by court

A person alleged to have committed or to be guilty of the offence to which a penalty reminder notice relates has the right to elect to have the matter dealt with by a court instead of under this Part.

s 35: Am 2008 No 40, Sch 1 [9].

36How a person may elect to have matter dealt with by court(1)

A person may elect to have a matter dealt with by a court by serving on the appropriate officer or other person or body specified in the penalty reminder notice a written statement that the person so elects.

(1A)

A person may make such an election even if the whole or part of the amount payable under the penalty notice has been paid.

(2)

Such an election may not be made later than the due date specified in the penalty reminder notice for payment in relation to the offence concerned.

(2A)

Despite subsection (2), a person may make an election at any time while a review under Division 2A of the decision to issue the penalty notice is in progress, provided the person applied for the review on or before the due date specified in the penalty reminder notice for payment in relation to the offence concerned.

(3)

A statement under this section may be served on a person personally or by post, by means of document exchange, by electronic means approved by the Commissioner or in any other manner prescribed by the regulations.

(4)

The regulations may make provision for or with respect to the form of written statements under this section.

(5)

If a person elects under this section to have a matter dealt with by a court after any amount payable under the penalty notice has been paid—

  • (a)

    section 22A (1) ceases to apply in relation to the person, and

  • (b)

    any action taken to record demerit points against the person in the NSW demerit points register kept under the Road Transport Act 2013 because of that payment is to be reversed by Transport for NSW, and

  • (c)

    the amount that has been paid under the penalty notice is repayable to the person by whom it was paid.

s 36: Am 1998 No 35, Sch 1 [13]; 2008 No 40, Sch 1 [10] [11]; 2008 No 62, Sch 1.7; 2011 No 41, Sch 5.6 [1]; 2012 No 61, Sch 1 [3] [7]–[9]; 2013 No 19, Sch 4.21 [5]; 2016 No 39, Sch 1 [21]; 2019 No 13, Sch 1[22] [23].

37Matter to proceed

If a person duly elects, in accordance with this Part, to have the matter dealt with by a court, proceedings against the person in respect of the offence may be taken as if a penalty notice had not been issued or penalty reminder notice had not been served.

s 37: Am 2012 No 61, Sch 1 [10]; 2017 No 63, Sch 4.18 [3].

37AExtension of time limit for taking proceedings if person has elected to have penalty notice matter dealt with by court(1)

This section applies to proceedings for a summary offence that has an applicable limitation period (apart from this section) of less than 12 months if—

  • (a)

    a penalty notice in relation to the offence has been issued to a person within that applicable limitation period, and

  • (b)

    the person has duly elected, in accordance with this Part, to have the matter dealt with by a court.

(2)

Proceedings relating to that offence may, despite the applicable limitation period, be commenced not later than 12 months from when the offence was alleged to have been committed.

Note.

An election to have a penalty notice matter dealt with by a court must be made in accordance with section 23A or 36 (as applicable).

(3)

Subsection (2) does not affect the operation of section 179 of the Criminal Procedure Act 1986 in relation to the commencement in any other circumstances of proceedings for an offence.

s 37A: Ins 2004 No 43, Sch 1 [7]. Am 2012 No 61, Sch 1 [11].

38Circumstances in which person issued with penalty reminder notice for vehicle or vessel offence is not liable to pay penalty(1)

(3C)

A statutory declaration that is given for the purposes of this section, if produced in any proceedings against the person named in the declaration in respect of the vehicle or vessel offence concerned, is admissible and is prima facie evidence that the person was driving or in charge of the vehicle or vessel at all relevant times relating to the offence.

(3D)

A statutory declaration that relates to more than one vehicle or vessel offence is not a statutory declaration under, or for the purposes of, this section unless each of the offences is a camera recorded offence (within the meaning of Division 2 of Part 7.3 of the Road Transport Act 2013) detected by the same camera device at approximately the same time.

(3E)
