I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
A final demand must
be served on the alleged offender pursuant to section 14(2) of the Fines,
Penalties and Infringement Notices Enforcement Act 1994. The final demand
notice may be served on a person by properly addressing and posting it by
prepaid post as a letter to the person at the person's last known
address under section 5(2) of the act. The final demand document sent by post
to a person under subsection (2) is also to be taken as having been served on
the person under section 5(5) of the act.
