State Penalties Enforcement Act 1999

An immobilisation warrant for a vehicle authorises an enforcement officer to immobilise the vehicle stated in the warrant, without further notice to the enforcement debtor and without the enforcement debtor’s consent, by attaching an immobilising device to the vehicle.

Under an immobilisation warrant, an enforcement officer has the additional powers stated in section 108I.

On the issue of an immobilisation warrant, the amount owing by the enforcement debtor is increased to the total of the amount unpaid before the warrant was issued and the civil enforcement fee.

An immobilisation warrant ends 12 months after the date of issue of the warrant or the earlier date, decided by the registrar, stated in the warrant.
