Dave,
Am i reading the section 87 correctly, assuming that if you don't have a reason to believe a parking infringement has been committed you cannot be served infringement notice?

Don't know about your mate but for most people it costs more to take a day off work to attend court then it is to pay the fine. Time is money.
So if I make a claim over you for say, $50. Will you pay me? After all it is cheaper than fighting the claim.
It is a reasonable assumption.
Thanks Dave, I have not read this Act as the government and local council have not referrenced this Act to me in any of their correspondence with me.
However, I would be surprised if this Act, didn't reference the usual subordinate legislation clause that is usually at the start of the Act or a Code of Conduct similar to that noted in the Road Management Act. A little more bedtime reading me thinks.
I read it as saying the person describd in section 77, ( b- a municipl council...) can serve or cause a fine to be served if they notice an infringement.

Touche. Obviously I will fight your claim rather than pay. But my point is either way you are already wasting time or money. Best to avoid parking in places that will attract fines in the first place.
Thats how I read it too.
If the council believes that there is an infringement then they can issue a fine.
Boods

I would...
Try it...I'm good for the money!
Too true. No offence to anyone intended, but some people seem to get so obsessed over the principal of it and I hear of them writing letters, attending council meetings etc. Just pay the damn thing and move on with your life.
If I get a council fine I pay, if it's from the dodgy private co's I throw it away.
i would not hesitate to go home and use a pair of these.
you could argue they have commited some offence like theft of motor vehicle or illegal detention of property or something.
