Expiation of Offences Act 1996

Unless a contrary intention is indicated in a particular Act and subject to subsection (2), money received by way of amounts due under expiation notices (other than any part of such amounts attributable to the levy under the Victims of Crime Act 2001) will be paid into the Consolidated Account.

Subject to subsection (3), a statutory authority or council is entitled to any expiation fee paid under this Act pursuant to an expiation notice, or recovered on enforcement of an expiation notice, that was issued by or on behalf of the authority or council.

If an expiation notice is issued by or on behalf of a statutory authority or council as a result of the reporting of an offence by a member of the police force or other officer of the Crown, half of the amount of any expiation fee paid pursuant to the notice or recovered on enforcement of the notice must be paid into the Consolidated Account.
