726 Registration of infringement penalty

(1) The registrar of the Children's Court must register an infringement penalty or part of an infringement penalty, together with any penalty reminder notice fee, for the purposes of enforcement under the CAYPINS procedure if—

(a) it appears to the registrar that the requirements set out in section 725 have been satisfied; or

(b) the registrar has been ordered to do so under section 724.

(2) If the Children's Court has made an order under section 724, the date of the registration of the infringement penalty or part infringement penalty is taken to be the date that the Children's Court made the order.

(3) Despite anything to the contrary in section 252, one or more infringement penalties may be registered under subsection (1) even if the maximum amount of the infringement penalty or infringement penalties exceeds the maximum fine that may be imposed by the Children's Court under section 252.

(4) On the registration of an infringement penalty or infringement penalties referred to in subsection (2), the maximum amount that may be enforced under the CAYPINS procedure in respect of the infringement penalty or infringement penalties (as the case requires) is an amount not exceeding the maximum fine that may be imposed by the Children's Court under section 252.

(5) Despite subsection (1), the registrar must not register an infringement penalty that is for an amount less than the prescribed minimum amount (if any).
