Subject: Official Information request - What will happen if the alleged
infringer on an infringement notice, issued under the Land Transport Act
1998, issued by the NZ Police, choose to request a court hearing?

 

Dear Mr Aupito William Sio,

 

I have a few questions regarding what will happen if the alleged infringer
on an infringement notice, issued under the Land Transport Act 1998,
issued by the NZ Police, choose to request a court hearing.

 

1. What kind and what level of court/tribunal will the hearing be held at?
What will be the initial court filing cost for the alleged infringer on
the infringement notice?

 

2. Will it be a generalist court or a specialist court? If it will be a
specialist court, what specialist area of the court will that be?

 

3. Will it be a criminal case or a civil case?

 

4. Will the case prosecutor’s (Police’s) claimed amount of money and other
claims be as same as the infringement fee payable and any other claim on
the infringement notice?

 

5. If the respondent (alleged infringer) is convicted, can the new
infringement fee payable become more than the infringement fee payable
specified on the infringement ticket?

 

6. If the respondent is convicted, will there be a criminal record left on
the respondent’s criminal record?

 

7. If the respondent is convicted, what will be any other court cost that
the respondent will need to pay for?

 

8. After the case is filed to the court, can the respondent choose to
close the filed case and pay for the infringement fee payable specified on
the infringement notice?

If the respondent can choose to close the filed case, what other cost
besides the infringement fee payable specified on the infringement notice
will need to be paid?

 

9. If the respondent choose to close the filed case and pay for the
infringement fee payable specified on the infringement notice, will there
be a criminal record left on the respondent’s criminal record?

 

Regards

Sophie
