Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) If the modified
penalty stated in an infringement notice is paid within the period in
section 9(1)(f) or any extension of it and the notice is not withdrawn, the
bringing of proceedings and the imposition of sentences are prevented to the
same extent as they would be if the alleged offender had been convicted by a
court of, and punished for, the alleged offence.
(2) Payment of a
modified penalty is not to be regarded as an admission for the purposes of any
proceedings, whether civil or criminal.
