Limit on demerit points from single investigation or audit
214G Limit on demerit points from single investigation or audit
This section applies if a person is convicted of 2 or more demerit offences discovered by QBCC as a result of an investigation or audit under part 4.
The maximum demerit points that may be allocated to the person for the convictions for the demerit offences is 20.
Nothing in this section prevents more demerit points being allocated to the person for convictions for demerit offences discovered by QBCC as a result of a later investigation or audit under part 4.
However, more demerit points must not be allocated if—
an earlier investigation or audit and a later investigation or audit relate to the same complaint or information received by QBCC from the same source; or
for demerit offences discovered by QBCC as a result of a later investigation or audit—
the offences were committed before an earlier investigation or audit but were not discovered as a result of the earlier investigation or audit; and
other demerit offences were discovered by QBCC as a result of the earlier investigation or audit; and
the other demerit offences resulted in the allocation of demerit points.
