Section 30

Any financial penalty imposed on any person under this Act or any rules made under this Act must be paid to the Board and is recoverable by the Board as a debt due to the Board from that person.

Where a financial penalty is imposed on a person in relation to a licence or lease, the person’s liability to pay is not affected by the licence or lease ceasing, for any reason, to be in force.

The Board may, in any case it thinks fit, remit or refund, wholly or in part, any financial penalty payable under this Act or any rules made under this Act.

The power of the Board to impose a financial penalty under this Act or any rules made under this Act is exercisable only if the contravention in respect of which the financial penalty is imposed is not an offence under this Act or any of those rules.[26C
