If the fixed penalty remains unpaid on expiry of the period referred to in subsection (1), or if the person served requests a trial under section 33 —
criminal proceedings in respect of an offence specified on the ticket may commence in accordance with the procedure set out for Category C offences under the Criminal Procedure Code (2021 Revision);
the ticket, for the purposes of the proceedings, is deemed to be a complaint within the meaning of section 14 of the Criminal Procedure Code (2021 Revision); and
the ticket is deemed to be a summons issued in accordance with section 15 of the Criminal Procedure Code (2021 Revision).
Proceedings in respect of an offence instituted by a ticket under this Act shall not be listed for hearing in Court unless —
the duplicate of the ticket is delivered to the Clerk with an endorsement by an inspector or the secretary to the Commission stating that the fixed penalty was not received before the expiry of the twenty-eight day period referred to in subsection (1); and
a period of ten days has elapsed from the last day on which the fixed penalty was payable.
