Enforcement of penalties etc
358 Enforcement of penalties etc
Where a court has:
imposed a pecuniary penalty under this Act (other than a penalty for an offence); or
ordered the payment of costs or expenses;
a certificate signed by the General Manager, specifying the amount payable and by whom and to whom respectively it is payable, may be filed in the Federal Court or in any other court of competent jurisdiction.
A certificate filed in a court under subsection (1) is enforceable in all respects as a final judgment of the court in which it is filed.
Where there are 2 or more creditors under a certificate, process may be issued separately by each creditor for the enforcement of the certificate as if there were separate judgments.
