TOBACCO PLAIN PACKAGING ACT 2011 (NO. 148, 2011) - SECT 84

Simplified outline

                   The following is a simplified outline of this Chapter:

•       Civil penalty orders may be sought under Part 2 of this Chapter from the Federal Court in relation to contraventions of civil penalty provisions.

•       Part 2 also contains some rules of general application in relation to civil penalty provisions.

•       Alternatively, a person can be given an infringement notice under Part 3 of this Chapter in relation to a contravention of an offence of strict liability.

•       A person who is given an infringement notice can choose to pay an amount as an alternative to having court proceedings brought against the person for a contravention of an offence or civil penalty provision. If the person does not choose to pay the amount, proceedings can be brought against the person in relation to the contravention.
