When an infringement notice may be given
90 When an infringement notice may be given
If the Inspector‑General believes on reasonable grounds that a person has contravened an infringement notice provision, the Inspector‑General may give to the person an infringement notice for the alleged contravention.
The infringement notice must be given within 12 months after the day on which the contravention is alleged to have taken place.
A single infringement notice must relate only to a single contravention of a single provision unless subsection (4) applies.
The Inspector‑General may give a person a single infringement notice relating to multiple contraventions of a single provision if:
the provision requires the person to do a thing within a particular period or before a particular time; and
the person fails or refuses to do that thing within that period or before that time; and
the failure or refusal occurs on more than 1 day; and
each contravention is constituted by the failure or refusal on one of those days.
For continuing offences, see subsection 4K(2) of the Crimes Act 1914.
