Payment of forfeited bail money
13 Payment of forfeited bail money
Bail money that becomes payable to the Crown as a consequence of a forfeiture order taking effect must be paid—
if paid before the Commissioner of Fines Administration is notified of the order—to the registrar of the court by which the order was made, or
if paid after the Commissioner of Fines Administration is notified of the order—to the Commissioner of Fines Administration.
A bail guarantor by whom an amount of bail money is payable is entitled to the return of any bail security deposited for that amount if he or she pays that amount in money to the court by which the forfeiture order was made or to the Commissioner of Fines Administration, as the case requires.
