Section 58FN — Competition and Consumer Act 2010: Purpose and effect of this Subdivision

(1) The purpose of this Subdivision is to provide for the issue of an infringement notice to a person for an alleged contravention of: (a) a civil penalty provision of an SPF principle in Subdivision B or E of Division 2 of this Part; or (b) a civil penalty provision of an SPF code; as an alternative to proceedings for an SPF civil penalty order. (2) This Subdivision does not: (a) require an SPF infringement notice to be issued for an alleged contravention of such a civil penalty provision; or (b) affect a person’s liability to proceedings for an SPF civil penalty order in relation to an alleged contravention of a civil penalty provision if: (i) an SPF infringement notice is not issued to the person for the contravention; or (ii) an SPF infringement notice issued to the person for the contravention is withdrawn under section 58FU; or (c) prevent a court from imposing a higher penalty than the penalty specified in the SPF infringement notice if the person does not comply with the notice.
