(4) The offender may, within 28 days after the day the recovery intention notice is given to the offender, object to recovery action against the offender on the grounds that— (a) the offender is not the person who is liable for the recoverable amount; or

(b) the commissioner has not taken into account that the offender has made, or is required to make, a payment in relation to the recompensed offence in accordance with a court order.
