Section 25D

Any person who has been determined to have committed a prescribed infringement and fails to pay the financial penalty imposed by the Controller by the date specified under section 25C(6)(a) is liable to pay to the Controller interest on the amount unpaid at the same rate as for a judgment debt.

Any financial penalty payable in respect of a prescribed infringement and any interest thereon is recoverable by the Controller, or any person duly authorised by the Controller to act on the Controller’s behalf, as a debt due to the Government.

The Controller may, in any case in which the Controller thinks fit, waive, remit or refund in whole or in part any financial penalty imposed or any interest due thereon.

In any proceedings for the recovery of any financial penalty or interest due thereon which any person is liable to pay, a certificate purporting to be under the hand of the Controller certifying the amount of the financial penalty or interest due thereon that is payable by the person is prima facie evidence of the facts stated in the certificate.
