126F: How infringement notice may be served
or “The different ways a notice can be given to someone who might have broken the rules”
You could also call this:

“Money from fines for breaking rules goes to the government”

When someone pays a fee for breaking a rule under this law, the money goes into a special bank account owned by the government. This account is called a Crown Bank Account. All the money from these fees must be put into this account. You can’t use the money for anything else or put it somewhere else.
