Section 25

The Director‑General may compound any offence under this Act that is prescribed as a compoundable offence by collecting from a person reasonably suspected of having committed the offence a sum not exceeding $5,000.

Where an offence is compounded under this Act, the scheduled species in respect of which the offence was committed and any other thing seized under section 11(3)(b), (c) or (d) are forfeited to the Director‑General.

Subject to subsection (2), on payment of the sum of money, no further proceedings may be taken against that person in respect of the offence.

All composition sums collected under this section must be paid into the Consolidated Fund.
