Allocation of money under payment order

79. Allocation of money under payment order



(1) An infringements registrar must allocate money received under a payment
order in order of priority based on the date of the making of an enforcement
order with the fine under the oldest enforcement order being paid out first.

(2) The order of priority to be applied when payments under a payment order
are allocated applies-

   (a)  to all payment orders managed by an infringements registrar; and

   (b)  regardless of the origin of the infringement notices to which the
        payment order applies.

(3) If a person to whom a payment order applies overpays the amount to which
the payment order applies by continuing payments after the payment order is
satisfied, an infringements registrar may-

   (a)  refund the amount of the overpayment to the person and-

   (i)  the Consolidated Fund is hereby appropriated accordingly; or

   (ii) if the amount had been paid into another fund or account, the amount
        is to be refunded from that fund or account; or

   (b)  if the person has other outstanding enforcement orders that were not
        subject to the payment order, apply the amount of overpayment to those
        outstanding enforcement orders if the person consents to the amount
        being so applied.
