What are the grounds for requesting a review of a fine which has become an enforcement order?
Call us if:
- you did not own the vehicle at the time of the offence and have notified the RTA of the new owner's details or
- you can prove you were not at the location of the offence when it occurred
Send us your claim with documentary evidence attached:
- for an offence that occurred before 31 January 1998 and the fine was paid or community service was undertaken or the fine was satisfied through time spent in prison or
- if the person responsible for the offence has since passed away.
If you cannot provide documents to show you should not be liable for the offence you can apply to have your enforced fine heard at court.
Note: there is a non-refundable administration cost of $50.
Return the annulment application with the $50 non-refundable administrative fee. If returned before the due date the enforcement order will be put on hold and you will avoid any further enforcement costs.
Once assessed and approved, the fine will be listed at the nearest local court to where the offence occurred and you will be required to attend. A magistrate will decide the outcome based on the evidence presented.
Can all enforcement actions be appealed?
No. If your fine has been issued by a court, a magistrate or judge has determined that a fine is the most appropriate penalty for the offence.
The SDRO cannot overrule a court decision. If you want to dispute the court ruling, contact the issuing court to determine any avenue of appeal.
If there is no avenue of appeal, you need to organise payment of the enforcement order.
