Project No. 55(III)

In 1994 the Parliament enacted the Fines, Penalties and Infringement Notices Enforcement Act 1994 (WA) and the Acts Amendment (Fines, Penalties and Infringement Notices) Act 1994 (WA) to implement the proposals of the Cullen Report (1993) as well as a number of the Commission’s recommendations.

The recommendations that were not adopted either did not meet the policy objectives of the government at the time or were subjected to further consideration because they related to local government authorities. The Commission had further recommended that the provisions relating to enforcement of orders of Courts of Petty Sessions should be retained in the Justices Act 1902 (WA) rather than within a new enactment.
