State Penalties Enforcement Act 1999

This section applies if an infringement notice is withdrawn under section 28 or cancelled under section 30.

If the infringement notice is withdrawn or cancelled and the name of the actual offender is known, nothing in this or any other Act prevents—

the administering authority issuing an infringement notice against the actual offender; or

a proceeding being started in a court for the offence against the actual offender.

However, the period of limitation within which a proceeding for the offence may be started against the actual offender starts on the day the infringement notice is withdrawn or cancelled.

Subsection (3) provides some other time limit for making complaint for the purposes of the Justices Act 1886, section 52.
