Benefit of paying modified penalty
40D Benefit of paying modified penalty
Subsection (2) applies if the modified penalty specified in an infringement notice has been paid within 28 days or such further time as is allowed and the notice has not been withdrawn.
If this subsection applies it prevents the bringing of proceedings and the imposition of penalties to the same extent that they would be prevented if the alleged offender had been convicted by a court of, and punished for, the alleged offence.
Payment of a modified penalty is not to be regarded as an admission for the purposes of any proceedings, whether civil or criminal.
