payable to the Fines Recovery Unit and the Unit may pay out to the
appropriate person or body money received under the order.
(3) Subject to subsection (4), money received by the Fines Recovery
Unit in a matter is to be allocated firstly to payment of an ancillary
money order (and if more than one ancillary money order – rateably
between those orders) and then to payment of any fine or penalty.
(4) If the Fines Recovery Unit makes an enforcement order in a matter,
any amount remaining unpaid under an ancillary money order may
be enforced in accordance with section 107.
(5) The Fines Recovery Unit:
(a) may act for the Territory to enforce payment of an ancillary
money order made in favour of the Territory; and
(b) cannot act to enforce payment of an ancillary money order in
any other case.
