78 Arrangement for payment of recoverable amount
grounds that timely recovery under this part of a recoverable amount
for a recompensed offence is unlikely because of the financial
circumstances of the offender.
(2) The commissioner may make an arrangement with the offender to—
(a) pay the recoverable amount in instalments; or
(b) pay an agreed amount (the agreed recoverable amount) as a
lump sum or in instalments.
(3) An arrangement under subsection (2) may include conditions that the
commissioner believes on reasonable grounds are appropriate for
ensuring timely recovery of the recoverable amount.
(4) The offender’s payment of an agreed recoverable amount for a
relevant offence discharges the offender from liability to pay the
recoverable amount under section 77 (Recovery notice) for the
relevant offence.
(5) However, an amount stated in an arrangement under subsection (2)
is, to the extent that the amount is unpaid under the conditions of the
arrangement, a debt due to the Territory.
