Before electing to have the matter proceed to the Magistrates’ Court, you are strongly encouraged to apply for an internal review of the infringement.
An internal review does not prevent you from still electing to have the matter heard before the Magistrates’ Court.
You can only request one internal review per infringement.
If you disagree with the outcome of this internal review, you can then request the matter be heard before the Magistrates' Court.
Eligibility Check:
You must be the registered owner or the person/company listed on the infringement notice.
If you have engaged a lawyer to act on your behalf for this matter, a written authority allowing your lawyer to act for this specific purpose must be provided.
