This Part sets up a framework for determining liability under a civil penalty provision.

On application by the Registrar, the Federal Court of Australia can order the payment of a civil penalty for a serious breach of a civil penalty provision (Division 2).

Division 3 deals with the interaction of civil penalty proceedings with criminal proceedings.

Division 4 is about enforceable undertakings relating to contraventions of civil penalty provisions.

The Registrar may accept a written undertaking for the payment of a specified amount to the Commonwealth within a specified period. The undertaking is given by a person who has taken action that contravenes a civil penalty provision.
