What are the possible outcomes of the review?
When the review of your penalty notice has been completed, you will receive written advice from Revenue NSW as to the outcome. The outcome of the review will be one of the following:
- Penalty to stand: the PPN was correctly issued and the offence was proven to have occurred. However, the circumstances or issues raised did not justify granting a caution or cancellation of the PPN. You can either pay the required fine amount or elect to have the matter heard by a court. This must be done via Revenue NSW.
- Caution: the PPN was correctly issued and the offence was proven to have occurred. However, due to mitigating circumstances raised in your request, Revenue NSW determined that a Caution is justified. Payment of the fine is not required and demerit points (if applicable) will not be applied. However, it should be noted that for demerit point offences the caution will be recorded on your driving history.
- Cancellation: following review it has been determined that the evidence does not support the issue of the PPN or that the PPN has been issued in error. You do not have to pay the fine and demerit points (if applicable) will not be recorded.
For further information, refer to the Review Guidelines.
