If you commit an infringement offence, you can be punished in one of two ways. You might have to pay an infringement fee, which is a set amount of money decided by the government. Or, if you go to court, a judge might make you pay a fine. The fine can be any amount up to the highest amount allowed by the government's rules for that offence. The exact amounts for the fees and fines are written in special government documents called regulations.
