Kiwipaul – our advice was that we couldn’t issue fines, and that’s why it’s called a “parking fee” in our SBL – even though the invoice looks somewhat like a “bluey”.
It may have been obvious, but the reason for the SBL permitting a $500 / day fee was simply to save us amending the prescribed amount as time progresses and the value of the dollar decreases; we use the “not exceeding” provisions to raise $25 / day fees which, as I said, have always been paid despite protests from a few bush lawyers.
I haven’t posted our SBL as I couldn’t find my original draft (docx) on my cloud-based hard-drive and the pdf version that I could find won’t let me cut and paste (?). If you or others are interested, I’ll try to work around the pdf and copy it here when I get time. Just let me know.
