Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

If you are in a court case about a pecuniary penalty under this part of the law, the court uses the same standard of proof as in other civil cases. You need to prove your case to a certain level, which is the same as in other civil proceedings. The chief executive can also ask the court to help them get more information from the other side, by getting documents or asking them questions, with a court order.
