Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000

This section applies in relation to a motor vehicle impounded for an evasion offence if the driver or owner of the motor vehicle was a child when the driver or owner committed the offence for which it was impounded.

The child is liable to pay the costs of removing and keeping the motor vehicle if the relevant court orders under section 768 that the child pay the costs.

However, if the relevant court orders, under section 768, the child’s parent to pay the costs of removing and keeping the motor vehicle, the child’s parent is liable to pay the costs of removing and keeping the motor vehicle.
