ESCALATION THRESHOLD

This final notice is issued only after the earlier demand identified above has not produced payment or a resolved ledger. Its function is to close the pre-proceeding stage and identify the exact statutory route the Society will invoke next.

ELECTION OF REMEDY

The Society must select the next step that fits the legal character of the debt. A disputed liability requiring adjudication belongs on the section 55 track; a certificate route should be used only where the Act and Rules make that debt recoverable through the stated provision.

FINAL RECONCILIATION WINDOW

Before filing, the member may still tender cleared payment or documentary proof of a ledger error. Any credit received before the proceeding is filed must reduce the amount carried into the statutory claim.

PROCEEDING RECORD

The Society should file this final notice together with the earlier reminder, ledger, resolution, proof of service and member response so the statutory authority can see the complete chronology rather than a single isolated demand.

NO SELF-HELP ENFORCEMENT

This notice does not authorise seizure of property, disconnection of essential services or any enforcement measure outside the Act, Rules, registered bye-laws or an existing award or certificate.

CLOSE OF PRE-PROCEEDING STAGE

This notice marks the point at which routine reminders end. The society should carry forward only the reconciled unpaid balance and identify the statutory route it will actually file, rather than threatening several incompatible remedies at once.

EVIDENCE PACK

Any later reference or recovery application should travel with the earlier demand, this final notice, proof of service, ledger, resolution and member response. The statutory authority should be able to see the chronology without reconstructing it from scattered messages.
