82 Satisfaction of order by payment
(1) If a fine defaulter who is subject to a community work order under
this Division pays the fine or penalty (including enforcement costs),
the order is taken to be satisfied.
(2) If a fine defaulter who has performed some work under a
community work order pays the outstanding balance of the fine or
penalty (including enforcement costs) having regard to the number
of hours of work performed under the order, the order is taken to be
satisfied.
(3) A fine defaulter who intends to pay the outstanding balance or the
Fines Recovery Unit acting on his or her behalf must notify the
Commissioner of Correctional Services of that intention and the
Commissioner must provide to the fine defaulter and the Unit a
written statement detailing the hours for which the fine defaulter
performed work under the community work order.
(4) In calculating the outstanding amount to be paid, the Fines
Recovery Unit must reduce the amount of the fine or penalty
(including enforcement costs) by the prescribed rate for each hour
the fine defaulter performed work under the community work order.
