hello all,
i have received a traffic fine from 2015, i had heard nothing until now 2022.
i got a notice of final demand from fines Victoria, with a letter saying my application for revocation was refused OR struck out by the magistrates court. i don't believe any such request was made.
i would like to have this matter heard in court, but after some calls and research it seems the newer laws (FINES REFORM ACT 2014) blocks people from doing this.
i can understand this being kind of fair for people who recently got fines, but i have been reading many, many people are getting these 5+ year old fine notices and have no means to dispute the matter other then directly with Fines Victoria (as the legislation blocks other avenues that use to be available under the older civic compliance system) -
PART 3--AMENDMENT OF INFRINGEMENTS ACT 2006
if anyone has any advice on this please share as it could help many people facing the same issue to get a fair go.
thanks
