2012 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 7 - Management of Fixed Charge Notice System
12:10 pm
Mr. Martin Callinan:
We have been working with the courts for quite a considerable time in terms of trying to improve the summons serving issue, which we accept is very high. There are all sorts of reasons that summonses are not served. Where it is the case that we are falling down, every district officer is charged with the responsibility of ensuring that the summonses sent to his district are served. There might be a variety of reasons that it is not happening.
