Commentary on Sections Part 6: Alternatives to Prosecution Chapter 1 - Penalty Notices Section 61: Form of penalty notice
This section dictates that a penalty notice must state the alleged offence; specifics about the alleged offence so as to provide reasonable information about it; specify the period before prosecution will be brought about (suspended enforcement period); the amount of the penalty, to whom and where the penalty must be paid; and inform the alleged offender of the right to request a trial.
