TIME LIMITS TO LAY COMPLAINTS
s 52 SUMMARY PROCEDURES ACT 1921 (SA):
52—Limitation on time in which proceedings may be commenced
(1) Subject to any provision of an Act to the contrary, if a person is to be prosecuted for a
summary offence, the proceedings must be commenced within the following time
limits:
(a) in the case of an expiable offence—
(i) if an expiation notice was given to the person—the proceedings must
be commenced within 6 months of the expiry of the expiation period
specified in the notice;
(ii) if an expiation notice was not given to the person—the proceedings
must be commenced within 6 months of the date on which the
offence is alleged to have been committed;
(b) in the case of an offence that is not expiable—the proceedings must be
commenced within 2 years of the date on which the offence is alleged to have
been committed.
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), an expiation notice is to be taken into account
despite its subsequent withdrawal except if the notice of withdrawal specifies that it is
withdrawn because—
(a) the issuing authority has received a statutory declaration or other document
sent to the authority by the alleged offender in accordance with a notice
required by law to accompany the expiation notice or expiation reminder
notice; or
(b) it has become apparent that the alleged offender did not receive the notice
until after the expiation period, or has never received it, as a result of error on
the part of the authority or failure of the postal system,
(in which case the withdrawn expiation notice is to be disregarded).
