Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated ActsIf a prescribed defence member is given an infringement notice in relation to a disciplinary infringement and:
(a) the member does not make an election within the period specified in the notice; or
(b) the member withdraws the election;
an infringement officer may refer the infringement to an authorized member of the Defence Force for the purposes of section 87 so that the authorized member may determine whether there are reasonable grounds to believe that the member has committed a service offence.
Note: The election may be withdrawn at any time before a decision is made under section 9FB in relation to the disciplinary infringement: see section 9EA.
