Drink-driving: agreement and payment of a fine in instalments

A documented situation to understand the criminal process.

Verified judgment and enforcement decision

The situation

A judgment based on agreement to the prosecution case was issued in a driving procedure under the influence of alcohol. Subsequent documentation includes a request for payment of the fine.

What the decision records

The judgment imposed a fine and a driving disqualification. A later enforcement order authorised monthly instalments and warned of the consequences of non-compliance.

What this helps explain

Conformity must be understood before it is accepted and compliance requires compliance with subsequent requirements. Authorized fractionation does not eliminate the fine or allow driving during deprivation.
