### sec.24 Registration of instalment payments for infringement notices
If an administering authority approves an application to pay an infringement notice fine by instalments, the administering authority must give to SPER, for registration, the particulars that are prescribed under a regulation of the offence to which the application relates and of the unpaid amount.
No registration fee is payable for registering the particulars.
The registrar must register the particulars, or the amended particulars given under subsection (6) , as soon as practicable after receiving them.
On registration—
SPER becomes responsible for the collection of, and may collect, the unpaid amount; and
the registrar must give to the person an instalment payment notice.
The registrar may, if satisfied that it is appropriate, allow the unpaid amount to be paid by stated instalments of less than the minimum instalment.
SPER may retain out of each instalment received a management fee prescribed under a regulation.
An administering authority may give to SPER for registration amended particulars mentioned in subsection (1) .
If amended particulars are given and an instalment payment notice for different particulars has already been given to the person, a fresh instalment payment notice must be given to the person.
