33S Demerit points deleted from register
(1) The Registrar must, if satisfied the entry of demerit points in the
Register was made in error, delete the demerit points from the
register.
(2) The Registrar may make any further consequential adjustments to
the register to ensure the records are correct.
(3) If:
(a) active demerit points are recorded in the register in relation to
an offence; and
(b) the Fines Recovery Unit annuls an enforcement order that
relates to a penalty for the offence;
the Registrar must delete the demerit points but must re-instate the
points if the offence is referred to the Local Court and the court
finds the offence proved.
(4) If:
(a) active demerit points are recorded in the register for an
offence; and
(b) a court grants leave to appeal out of time against a finding of
guilt in relation to the offence;
the Registrar must delete the demerit points but must re-instate the
points if the appeal is unsuccessful.
