State Penalties Enforcement Act 1999

On an application under section 56 or 58, the registrar or a Magistrates Court may stay enforcement action under a relevant enforcement order on the conditions the registrar or the court considers appropriate.

A single application may be made for the cancellation of 2 or more relevant enforcement orders against the same person.

A relevant enforcement order that is cancelled stops having effect on the making of the order cancelling it and any enforcement action already taken must, if practicable, be reversed.

Without limiting subsection (3), if a relevant enforcement order is cancelled—

enforcement costs are not payable for the issue of the order; and

any amount that has been paid under the order is repayable to the person by whom it was paid; and

the period of limitation within which a proceeding for the offence to which the order relates may be started for the matter starts on the day the order is cancelled.

Also, section 31 applies as if the infringement notice to which the relevant enforcement order relates were cancelled under section 30.

Subsection (4)(c) provides some other time limit for making complaint for the purposes of the Justices Act 1886, section 52.
