Victorian Numbered Acts

FINES REFORM ACT 2014 (NO. 47 OF 2014) - SECT 57

    (1)     Any remaining outstanding infringement fine or court fine may be enforced by other enforcement action available under this Act—

        (a)     on the removal of a fine from a payment arrangement under section 48 by the person to whom the payment arrangement applies; or

        (b)     on the cancellation of a payment arrangement under section 49 by the person to whom the payment arrangement applies; or

        (c)     on cancellation of the payment arrangement under section 56 for default; or

        (d)     if a person does not make the first payment in accordance with section 47.

    (2)     For the purposes of subsection (1), any enforcement action available is to be taken from the point which the fine to which the removal or cancellation relates had reached in the enforcement lifecycle at the time the payment arrangement was made for that fine.

Note

Depending on the stage that enforcement had reached before the payment arrangement was made, a penalty reminder notice may be served, or if not already registered, the infringement penalty may be registered as an infringement fine and a notice of final demand served or any sanction available under this Act following default may be applied.
