Reserves Act 1977

Miscellaneous provisions - Infringement offences

105A: Relationship between infringement offences and other offences

You could also call this:

"Breaking a reserve rule can lead to more serious charges, not just a fine."

Illustration for Reserves Act 1977

If you break a rule in the Reserves Act 1977, you can be charged with an offence under a different part of the Act, instead of just getting an infringement notice under sections 105B to 105I. You can still be prosecuted and convicted under another section of the Act. The rules in sections 105B to 105I do not stop this from happening.
