62. Expiry of enforcement orders



(1) An enforcement order expires-

   (a)  if a payment order is made in relation to the enforcement order or 2
        or more enforcement orders as the case may be-

   (i)  on the payment in full of the fine or fines (as the case may be); or

   (ii) if one or more payments are made under the payment order but the fine
        or fines (as the case may be) are not paid in full, 5 years after the
        receipt of the last payment; or

   (iii) in any other case, 5 years after the making of the payment order;

   (b)  if an infringement warrant has been issued in respect of the
        enforcement order, on that warrant becoming void under Part 6;

   (c)  if an application is made to an infringements registrar under section
        68(1) for revocation of the enforcement order, 5 years after the
        application is made;

   (d)  if a declaration has been made under section 91, 5 years after the
        declaration is made;

   (e)  if a person applies for an extension of time to deal with an
        infringement notice under section 87A of the
        Melbourne City Link Act 1995 or section 67 or 89B of the
        Road Safety Act 1986, 5 years after the date that the application was
        made;

   (f)  in any other case, 5 years after the enforcement order was made.

(2) If both subsections (1)(a) and (1)(b) apply, the enforcement order expires
on the infringement warrant becoming void under Part 6.

(3) If an enforcement order expires as a result of this section, any amount
still outstanding in respect of the fine for which the enforcement order was
made ceases to be enforceable or recoverable.

(4) This section does not apply to an enforcement order in respect of which a
warrant has been issued under the Service and Execution of Process Act 1992 of
the Commonwealth.
