243ZK  What happens if the infringement notice penalty is paid

 (1) This section applies if:
 (a) an infringement notice is served on a person under this Subdivision; and
 (b) the person pays the penalty specified in the notice before the end of the period, or by the time, referred to in paragraph 243ZI(1)(e); and
 (c) the infringement notice is not withdrawn.

 (2) Any liability of the person for the offence specified in the notice is taken to be discharged.

 (3) Further proceedings cannot be taken against the person for the offence.

 (4) The person is not regarded as having been convicted of the offence.

 (5) If the offence specified in the notice is an offence covered by paragraph 243ZF(a), the goods are taken to be condemned as forfeited to the Crown, such that the title to the goods immediately vests in the Commonwealth to the exclusion of all other interests in the goods, and the title cannot be called into question.

Note: A right to compensation exists in certain circumstances for goods that are disposed of or destroyed (see section 243ZN).
