Commentary on Sections Part 6: Alternatives to Prosecution Chapter 1 - Penalty Notices Section 67: Registration of penalty
This section states that the fixed penalty clerk must upon receiving a certificate under section 66 register a sum in default for enforcement as a court fine. Once registered as a fine the individual who received the penalty notice is given a notice of registration specifying the amount and date for payment alongside information with respect to the offence. It will be treated as a court fine and therefore attract the normal payment and enforcement methods such as payment by instalments; extra time to pay; or any of the sanctions available for fine default.
The Department can make regulations with respect to the enforcement of payment of sums registered under this section as it considers appropriate.
