### sec.133 Enforcement of Queensland fine by reciprocating court
SPER may, on the registrar’s initiative or on the request of the registrar of a Queensland court, give to the relevant officer of the reciprocating court a request for the enforcement of a particular Queensland fine in that State.
An amount received from a reciprocating court in satisfaction of all or part of a Queensland fine must be applied as if the amount had been paid to SPER by the person by whom the fine was payable in satisfaction of all or part of the fine.
If, after a request is made under subsection (1) , SPER receives an amount in satisfaction of all or part of the fine from someone other than the relevant officer of the reciprocating court to whom the request was made, SPER must, as soon as practicable, notify the relevant officer of the amount of the payment.
