67: Revocation of infringement notice before payment made

You could also call this:

“You can get your fine cancelled before you pay it, but there might still be consequences”

The proposed law says that the chief executive can cancel an infringement notice before you pay the fine or before a court orders you to pay. If the chief executive cancels the notice, they must try their best to let you know about it. Even if the notice is cancelled before you pay, you might still face other consequences for the same issue. The chief executive can still take action against you as described in section 65(1)(a) or (b) of the law.
