Under which act are fines governed in New South Wales?

The Fines Act 1996 specifically governs the imposition and management of fines in New South Wales. This legislation outlines how fines are determined, imposed, collected, and enforced, and provides clear guidelines for various offenses that may result in a fine. It also addresses processes related to the non-payment of fines, their review, and the potential consequences for individuals who do not comply with fine orders.

The other options relate to different aspects of the legal system in New South Wales: the Crimes (Sentencing Procedures) Act 1999 primarily deals with sentencing principles, while the Criminal Infringement Notice Act 2007 is focused on specific minor offenses and their penalties. The Periodic Detention of Prisoners Act 1981 pertains to the periodic detention of individuals sentenced to detention rather than the legislative framework directly related to fines. Hence, the Fines Act 1996 is the accurate and relevant legislation for this context.
