It depends on his age. Read the GA code about that. 24 over = 4 points. If you get 4 points on your license in a certain period of time under a certain age, you lose your license.
He was only 23 over, so he will only get 3 points. However, if he has previous points that are still on his record and is under 18, heck, even under 21, he might be in trouble.
