Taxi Regulation Bill 2003: Second Stage.
Section 44 establishes a structure for the application of relevant penalties that, in general, are set at €1,500 and €3,000 for the majority of offences. Section 46 provides the basis for an alternative system to the pursuit of cases through the courts. The deployment of this fixed charge system, which will be dedicated to offences that may be committed under the Bill, will offer an accused person the opportunity to pay such a charge in lieu of a potential conviction.
