About paying an infringement notice or court fine
Within 28 days of the issue date on the notice, you must:
- pay the infringement notice
- apply to MPES for a variation of payment conditions
- apply to the issuing authority for it to be withdrawn, or
- lodge a notice to elect a court hearing (PDF, 51KB).
If you do nothing, you will be issued with an enforcement order.
If you receive an enforcement order you have 14 days to pay your penalty and the enforcement order fee before enforcement sanctions or warrants are imposed.
Payment in full at any time will stop enforcement action.
If you wish to dispute an infringement notice or fine, you must contact the agency that issued it. MPES only collects payment on behalf of agencies and will not be able to help you with a dispute.
