Enforcement action on default, cancellation or removal if payment is not complete
52A Enforcement action on default, cancellation or removal if payment is not complete
Any remaining outstanding infringement penalty may be enforced by other enforcement action available under this Act or the Fines Reform Act 2014—
on the removal of an infringement penalty from payment plan under section 49(2)(a) by the person to whom the payment plan applies; or
on the cancellation of a payment plan under section 49(2)(b) by the person to whom the payment plan applies; or
on cancellation of the payment plan under section 52 for default; or
S. 52A(1)(d) amended by No. 14/2026 s. 39.
if a person does not make the first payment in accordance with section 48.
For the purposes of subsection (1), any enforcement action available is to be taken from the point which the infringement penalty to which the removal or cancellation relates had reached in the enforcement lifecycle at the time the payment plan was made for that infringement penalty.
Note
Depending on the stage that enforcement had reached before the payment plan was made, a penalty reminder notice may be served, or the infringement penalty may be registered as an infringement fine and a notice of final demand served or any sanction available under the Fines Reform Act 2014 following default may be applied.
S. 53 (Heading) amended by No. 47/2014 s. 238(1).
