31      How contraventions may be dealt with

(1)    If a person contravenes this instrument, the responsible executive may:

(a)    decide that the contravention is to be dealt with under this instrument; or

(b)    take action to have it dealt with under:

(i)    the Discipline Rule, the Medical Leave Rules or any other relevant University legislation; or

(ii)    a relevant industrial award, enterprise agreement or workplace agreement.

(2)    However, subject to subsections (3) and (4), a person may not be held accountable more than once for the same contravention.

(3)    To remove any doubt, a direction may be given under section 24 (Direction to leave premises) or section 30(5) (Conduct of persons in Library premises), and a suspension may be imposed under section 36 (Suspension from information infrastructure), for a contravention of this instrument whether or not:

(a)    the contravention is (or may be) dealt with under:

(i)    this instrument; or

(ii)    the Discipline Rule, the Medical Leave Rules or any other relevant University legislation; or

(iii)    a relevant industrial award, enterprise agreement or workplace agreement; or

(b)    a penalty or other amount is (or may be) subsequently imposed or payable for the contravention.

(4)    To remove any doubt, a direction or suspension mentioned in subsection (3) must not be taken into account in imposing any penalty, or taking any other action, for the contravention under:
