All initial requests for an Extension Of Time (EOT) are granted for a period of 90 days. We will not contact you to confirm that this has happened. At the end of the ninety day EOT period the infringement will return to its original status and may escalate accordingly if it has not been expiated. This may result in further costs being added or the infringement being referred to Fines Victoria or to Court.

Please note; Internal reviews cannot be submited through this portal. All requests for internal reviews must be submitted via ‘Dispute my fine’
The person named on the infringement notice can request to have the infringement matter referred to the Magistrates' Court at any time before the fine is registered with Fines Victoria.
Requests must be in writing stating that you wish for your matter to be heard by a Magistrate in court. Please include the infringement notice number, your full name, date of birth and your current address at which the summons may be served.
Once it is received, our Prosecutions Team will review the request and make arrangements for the matter to be filed with the court. We will send you a notice informing you of the date of the hearing.
We cannot give legal advice about this process. We strongly recommend that you get independent legal advice before going to court.
The court process is not free. If the court decides in our favour, we will seek to recover any additional costs from you.
Once a hearing has been scheduled, you may request a delay (adjournment) by contacting the Magistrates' Court directly.
Once a court election is processed and a hearing is arranged the matter cannot be dealt with as an infringement and must now be dealt with by the court.
