Enforcement Sanctions

If you ignore an enforcement order, enforcement sanctions will be imposed.
Each enforcement sanction has an extra fee that is added to what you owe. This is in addition to the $60 enforcement order fee.

MPES may use these enforcement sanctions.

Sanction	Charge
Suspend your driver licence or eligibility to hold a driver licence	$36
Suspend registration of vehicles registered to you	$36
Publish your name, address, driver licence number, and details of your penalty on the MPES website	$36
Issue an enforcement warrant to:
Impose a charge on any land you have an interest in	$120
Seize and sell your property	$120
Redirect money that belongs to you. This may be to your employer, a financial institution or other entity holding money on your behalf	$120

These sanctions can be used in any order and any number can be applied at the same time.

If property is seized and sold, you may also be liable for expenses that are incurred during this seizure.

If your driver licence or vehicle registration has been suspended, MPES may, if you have not previously defaulted on instalments, cancel the suspension once you have made three fortnightly instalments of an agreed amount. Any other enforcement sanction will not be cancelled until payment in full is made.

If you won’t pay after the use of the above sanctions then a warrant of commitment to imprison you may be issued – charge $60
