164: What infringement notice must contain

You could also call this:

"What information must be in an infringement notice"

Illustration for Incorporated Societies Act 2022

You get an infringement notice if you break a rule. The notice must have certain information. It must say what you did wrong, where and when. It must also say how much you have to pay and how to pay it. You must be told how long you have to pay the fee. The notice must tell you about your rights, like requesting a hearing. It must also say what happens if you do not pay or ask for a hearing. You can read more about this in section 21(10) of the Summary Proceedings Act 1957. The notice may have other information as well.
