24F Action to be taken if decision to issue penalty notice is confirmed
(1) If, after a review under this Division, a reviewing agency confirms a decision to issue a penalty notice in respect of an offence by a person (and the whole amount payable under the notice has not been paid), it must, in accordance with Division 3, serve a penalty reminder notice in respect of the offence on the person.
Note.
Accordingly, the time for making an election to have a matter dealt with by a court under section 36 (2) will be on or before the due date for payment specified in the penalty reminder notice served under this section.
(2) A penalty reminder notice served under subsection (1) replaces any previous penalty reminder notice in respect of the offence.
(3) This section does not apply if—
(a) a penalty notice enforcement order has been made in respect of the offence, or
(b) the person has elected to have the matter dealt with by a court under section 23A or 36.
Note.
If a penalty notice enforcement order has been made in relation to a penalty notice and the decision to issue the penalty notice is confirmed in a review under this Division, enforcement action may be taken against the person under Part 4.
