Defence
2
You will have a complete defence against proceedings relating to an alleged offence if the infringement fee is paid to the enforcement authority and received at the address shown on this notice within 28 days after the service of this notice.
3
Late payment, or payment made to any other address, will not constitute a defence to proceedings in respect of the alleged offence.
Further action
4
You must write to the enforcement authority if you wish to do any of the following things:
(a)
raise a matter concerning the circumstances of an alleged offence for consideration by the enforcement authority; or
(b)
deny liability for the alleged offence and request a court hearing; or
(c)
admit liability for the offence, but have the court consider submissions as to penalty or otherwise. In your letter, you must request a hearing, admit liability in respect of the offence, and set out the submissions that you would like the court to consider.
You must ensure that your request is received on or before the last day for payment.
If you deny liability and request a court hearing, the enforcement authority will then, if it decides to commence court proceedings in respect of the alleged offence, serve you with a notice of hearing setting out the place and time at which the matter will be heard by the court.
If you admit liability but wish to have the court consider submissions, the enforcement authority will then, if it decides to commence court proceedings in respect of the offence, file your letter with the court. You are not entitled to make oral submissions to the court.
If the court finds you guilty or you make submissions, costs will be imposed in addition to any penalty.
Each offence identified by a number is a separate infringement offence. You may decide what to do in respect of each alleged offence individually, and may act in the same way in respect of all alleged offences or in different ways in respect of different alleged offences.
If it is not clear which alleged offence any payment relates to, your payment may be treated as relating to the alleged offences in the order in which they are set out on this notice.
Next steps
If you do not request a hearing and you do not pay the infringement fee within the 28 days after the service of this notice, a reminder notice will be sent to you. Please note that in some circumstances if you do not receive a reminder notice you may still become liable to pay a fine and court costs.
