Commentary on Sections Part 6: Alternatives to Prosecution Chapter 1 - Penalty Notices Section 69: Setting aside of sum enforceable under section 67
This section allows a court of summary jurisdiction to void the penalty notice, the registration as a fine; and any proceedings related to the alleged offence if it considers it is in the interests of justice to do so. It also allows the court to set aside the registration as a fine and to treat the case as if the person concerned had given notice requesting to be tried in respect of the offence.
