Measure 7: Collection of Monetary Penalties
Definition: Payments collected and distributed within established timelines, expressed as a percentage of total monetary penalties ordered.

The focus of this measure is on the extent to which our Court takes responsibility for the enforcement of orders requiring payment of monetary penalties.
