Ask for a dispute hearing
If you want to go to a hearing you can:
- deny the offence and ask for a defended hearing - the district court will consider your objection
- admit the offence and ask for the fine to be reduced - the court will decide whether to reduce the fine based on documents you and we provide.
You will need to pay $30 to the court to cover costs of the hearing.
