78B Power to correct irregularities in proceedings for infringement offences (1) This section applies if a defendant is deemed to have been ordered, or is ordered, to pay a fine or costs or both under section 21 and— (a) a District Court Judge or Registrar, on the application of the defendant, is satisfied on the basis of information provided with the application that— (i) (ii) (iia) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) the defendant is not a person to whom the infringement notice was issued or on whom the notice is deemed to have been served; or the defendant (not being a defendant who, under section 78C(1) or (3), is ineligible to rely on this ground) did not in fact receive the reminder notice required to have been served on the defendant under section 21; or the defendant did not in fact receive a copy of the notice of hear- ing required to have been served on the defendant under section 21; or some other irregularity occurred in the procedures leading up to the order for the fine or costs, or both; or the defendant believed on reasonable grounds that he or she had requested a hearing under section 21, but this request was not acted on by the informant; or the defendant reasonably believed that he or she had been advised by the informant that action would not be taken under section 21(3); or the defendant reasonably believed that he or she had been advised by the informant that further time for requesting a hearing would be allowed under section 21(6)(b), but action was taken under sec- tion 21(3) before that further time had expired; or (vii) the defendant— (A) (B) had, in writing, requested further relevant information from the informant in relation to the infringement offence; and had made the request within a time that would reasonably enable the informant to respond before the earliest time at which the informant would be entitled to take action under section 21(3); and (C) believed on reasonable grounds that the informant had not refused to provide the requested information and that action 45 Part 2 s 78B Summary
 Proceedings Act 1957 Reprinted as at 1 October 2018 would not be taken under section 21(3) before that informa- tion had been provided; and (D) was not provided with the information before action was taken under section 21(3); or (viii) the defendant paid the infringement fee to the informant at the address specified in the infringement notice before or within 28 days after service on the defendant of a reminder notice in respect of the offence to which the notice relates; or (b) the informant applies to a District Court Judge or Registrar to withdraw the reminder notice filed or deemed to have been filed under section 21.
(1A) No more than 1 application, made in reliance on the ground stated in subsec- tion (1)(a)(ii), may be granted in respect of the same defendant for the same infringement offence.

(1B) An application under subsection (1) may be made— (a) (b) in writing in a form approved under section 209A; or electronically in a manner approved by the chief executive of the Minis- try of Justice.
(1C) An application under subsection (1) may be— (a) made to any court; and (b) considered in another court besides the one to which it is made.
(2) The Judge or, subject to subsections (3) and (4), the Registrar may do 1 or more of the following: (a) (b) (c) authorise the informant to serve a reminder notice on a person other than the defendant (being a person to whom the infringement notice was issued or on whom it was deemed to have been served): authorise the informant to serve on the defendant another copy of the reminder notice or the notice of hearing and, for that purpose, require the defendant to specify an address at which personal service, service by post, or service by either method may be effected: grant a hearing or rehearing of the matter, and proceed with the hearing or rehearing immediately if both parties agree, or set it down for a later date: (d) set aside or modify the order: (e) make any other order as to costs or otherwise that the Judge or Registrar considers appropriate in the circumstances.
If a Registrar considering an application under subsection (1)(a) is satisfied that any of subparagraphs (i) or (iv) to (vii) of subsection (1)(a) apply, the Registrar must not exercise the power conferred by subsection (2)(a) or (b) except with the consent of the informant.

(3) 46 Reprinted as at 1 October 2018 Summary Proceedings Act 1957 Part 2 s 78B (4) A Registrar may not exercise the power conferred by subsection (2)(d) except where the application is made under subsection (1)(a)(viii) or (1)(b).
(4A) A Judge or Registrar must deal with an application under subsection (1) on the papers unless the Judge or Registrar considers that a hearing is necessary.

(4B) While an application under subsection (1) is pending,— (a) (b) no warrant, order, or notice may be issued or take effect to enforce the order to which that application relates; and the Registrar must take appropriate steps to ensure that the order is not acted on.
(4C) Despite subsection (4B), if, before an application under subsection (1) is made, any property has been seized under a warrant to seize property to enforce the order to which that application relates,— (a) (b) any seized property that has not been sold, assigned, applied, released, or otherwise disposed of must be retained under section 100B(3) while the application is pending; or if the seized property has been sold but the proceeds of sale have not been applied in accordance with section 100N or 100R, the proceeds must be retained while the application is pending.
(4D) If the order to which the application relates continues in effect after the applica- tion is determined or is discontinued, the property must be dealt with, and any fees and costs payable under an enactment in respect of the property are pay- able, as if the application had not been made.
(4E) If, on the determination of the application, the order is set aside or ceases to have effect in accordance with subsection (5), the owner— (a) is entitled to— (i) (ii) the return of the property if the property has been retained in accordance with subsection (4C)(a); or the proceeds of any sale if the proceeds have been retained in accordance with subsection (4C)(b); and (b) is not liable for any fees and costs payable under an enactment in respect of the property.
(4F) In any case where a Judge or Registrar gives a direction authorising the service of a reminder notice or a copy of a reminder notice under subsection (2)(a) or (b) (a new reminder notice) in replacement of, or by reference to, a previous reminder notice, then— (a) (b) section 21(3)(b), (3D)(b), and (10)(a), if applicable to the case, apply as if the reference to the date of service of the reminder notice were a refer- ence to the date of the direction by the Judge or Registrar; and section 21(3B), (5)(a), (5A)(a), and (8)(d), if applicable to the case, apply as if the reference to the time when the offence is alleged to have 47 Part 2 s 78B Summary Proceedings Act 1957 Reprinted as at 1 October 2018 been committed were a reference to the date of the direction by the Judge or Registrar.
(4G) If, under subsection (2)(b), a Judge or Registrar authorises the informant to serve on the defendant a new reminder notice, the defendant may not give notice requesting a hearing in respect of the infringement offence to which the notice relates if the Registrar is satisfied that the notice was filed following the defendant’s default in paying 1 or more instalments under an arrangement entered into under section 21(3A) or (3C)(a).
(4H) If, under subsection (2)(d), an order is set aside following an application made by the informant under subsection (1)(b), the setting aside is not a bar to any other proceedings in the same matter.

If a Judge or Registrar exercises a power under subsection (2)(a), (b), or (c), the order made or deemed to have been made against the defendant ceases to have effect and the Registrar must take appropriate steps to ensure that the order is not acted on.
If a defendant granted a hearing or rehearing under this section does not appear, the court may, if it thinks fit, without hearing or rehearing the matter, direct that the original order be restored.

If the chief executive is satisfied that the access code of a recognised user should not have been cancelled or that any breach on the part of any recognised user whose access code has been cancelled is unlikely to recur, the chief execu- tive may issue to that recognised user another access code.

92E Fine status response by chief executive (1) When the chief executive receives a fine status query, the chief executive must, where practicable, perform, or have an electronic system perform, the follow- ing operations: (a) (b) (c) (d) check if the fine status query has been submitted by a recognised user: if the identity of the recognised user is confirmed, compare the identify- ing particulars of the query subject with identifying particulars recorded in the fines enforcement records: if the identifying particulars of the query subject in the fine status query are, according to prescribed criteria, shown to correspond with those of a defendant recorded in the fines enforcement records as having a default balance, the chief executive must send the recognised user a fine status response stating that, as at the date of the response, the query subject has a default balance and the amount of that balance: in any case to which paragraph (c) does not apply, the chief executive must send the recognised user a fine status response stating that the iden- tifying particulars of the query subject do not correspond with the identi- fying particulars of any defendant shown in the fines enforcement records as having a default balance.

90 Reprinted as at 1 October 2018 Summary Proceedings Act 1957 Part 3 s 92G 92F Disclosure and use of fine status response restricted (1) A recognised user may not disclose the information contained in a fine status response unless the decision is made— (a) (b) (c) for the purpose of making the information available, in accordance with the Privacy Act 1993, to the query subject to whom the information relates; or for the purposes of an audit conducted under section 92H or to a Registrar under section 100K; or in accordance with subsection (2), in any case where the recognised user is a credit reporter.
(2) A credit reporter may only disclose the information contained in a fine status response to the subscriber who requested the information, and only if the dis- closure is made not later than 24 hours after receipt, under section 92E, of that response.
(3) A person who contravenes this section or who discloses or uses information in contravention of any regulations made under section 92I is, for the purposes of Part 8 of the Privacy Act 1993, taken to have breached an information privacy principle under section 66(1)(a)(i) of that Act.

92G Query subject to be notified of proposed combination of information (1) This section applies where— (a) (b) (c) the identifying particulars submitted in a fine status query about a query subject diverge in 1 or more respects (the diverging particulars) from the identifying particulars by which a particular defendant, with a default balance, is identified in the fines enforcement records; and the chief executive nevertheless has reason to believe that the identifying particulars are those of that defendant; and the chief executive proposes to combine the diverging particulars with the identifying particulars shown in the fines enforcement records about the defendant.
Before the chief executive combines the diverging particulars with the identify- ing particulars shown in the fines enforcement records about the defendant, the chief executive must first comply with section 103 of the Privacy Act 1993 as if the diverging particulars were a discrepancy and the proposed combination were an adverse action taken against the query subject.
If, following the chief executive’s compliance with section 103 of the Privacy Act 1993, any information in the fine status response sent to a recognised user about a query subject is shown to be incorrect, the chief executive must notify the recognised user of the corrected information.
(2) (3) 91 Part 3 s 92H Summary Proceedings Act 1957 Reprinted as at 1 October 2018 (4) (5) If the recognised user is a credit reporter who has disclosed the information contained in the fine status response to a subscriber, the credit reporter must promptly advise the subscriber of the corrected information.

If any proceeds of sale are required to be applied to 2 or more security interests under subsection (1)(c), those proceeds must be applied in the order of the pri- ority determined for those security interests by Part 7 or 8 of the Personal Prop- erty Securities Act 1999.
If any proceeds of sale are required to be applied to 2 or more default balances under subsection (1)(g), those proceeds must be applied to those default balan- ces in the order of the priority determined for the applicable security interests by Part 7 or 8 of the Personal Property Securities Act 1999.
If the proceeds arise out of the sale of a motor vehicle owned by a substitute for the defendant or in which the substitute had an interest, the proceeds must be applied in the manner and order of priority specified in subsection (1), except that the payments described in paragraphs (d) to (f) of that subsection are (2) (3) (4) 112 Reprinted as at 1 October 2018 Summary Proceedings Act 1957 Part 3 s 100T limited to amounts imposed in respect of traffic offences committed by the defendant in a motor vehicle that, at the time of the commission of the offence, was owned by the substitute or in which the substitute had an interest.
(5) The Judge may, on application or on his or her own initiative, give any direc- tions as to the application of the proceeds of sale under this section.

Section 100R: replaced, on 13 February 2012, by section 32 of the Summary Proceedings Amend- ment Act 2011 (2011 No 32).
100S Remission of fine and costs of sale in certain cases involving motor vehicles (1) This section applies if the realisation under section 100N or 100P of any motor vehicle seized in respect of a fine does not result in a reduction of the defend- ant’s fine by more than $100.
(2) The Registrar must— (a) remit the impoundment costs and the costs of the sale of the motor vehicle (as those costs are described in section 100R(1)(a) and (b)); and (b) remit— (i) (ii) the entire fine in default for which the motor vehicle was seized, if the amount of that fine is $100 or less; or $100 less any proceeds of that sale that have been applied towards paying the fine in default, if the amount of that fine is greater than $100.
Example A motor vehicle seized in respect of a fine sells for $350.

The impoundment costs and the costs of the sale of that motor vehicle are $300.

(2) The charge created by the attachment order— (a) (b) (c) accrues from earnings period to earnings period, and on a day within, or following, each period that is specified in the attachment order; and attaches to all salary or wages that become due by the employer to the defendant at any time while the attachment order is in force, whether or not the contract of employment in respect of which the salary or wages so become due existed at the date of the attachment order; and prevails over and has priority to any assignment or charge created by the defendant (whether before or after the making of the attachment order against the defendant), so that the attachment order has the same effect as if no such assignment or charge had been made or created.
(3) Every attachment order applies for a fixed period stated in the order, and must not apply for a period of more than 5 years after the date on which the order is made by the Registrar.
(4) Despite subsections (1) and (2), no attachment order is to operate so that, when its effect is considered either alone or with the effect of any item specified in subsection (5), the net amount paid to a defendant for an earnings period is below the protected earnings rate for the earnings period; and, where necessary, the amount to be deducted from the defendant’s salary or wages for the earn- ings period is treated as being reduced or cancelled accordingly.
(5) The items referred to in subsection (4) are— (a) (b) a deduction notice or an attachment order under the Child Support Act 1991, the Family Proceedings Act 1980, the Social Security Act 1964, or the Tax Administration Act 1994: a deduction for the recovery of payments under section 86 of the Social Security Act 1964.
(6) If any question arises in any case as to the priority to be accorded to an attach- ment order made under this Act, each of the items specified in subsection (5) has priority over that attachment order.
(7) In this section,— 118 Reprinted as at 1 October 2018 Summary Proceedings Act 1957 Part 3 s 106 net earnings, in relation to an earnings period, means the balance left after deducting from the defendant’s salary or wages for the earnings period the amount of tax required to be withheld or deducted in accordance with the PAYE rules of the Income Tax Act 2007 if the salary or wages were the only salary or wages paid to the defendant by the employer for the earnings period protected earnings rate, in relation to an earnings period, means the higher of— (a) (b) 60% of net earnings for the earnings period; and the amount or percentage stated under subsection (1)(c).

(2) All sums so deducted are hereby deemed to have been paid by the employer in satisfaction of the salary or wages payable by the employer to the defendant.

(3) All sums so deducted are hereby deemed to have been paid by the defendant in satisfaction of the defendant’s liability to pay the fine.
(4) (4A) If the defendant gives notice of resignation, or is given notice of dismissal, from the employment of the employer to whom the attachment order relates, the employer must, within 7 days after receiving or giving the notice, notify the Registrar of the court in which the attachment order was issued of the date of the last day of the defendant’s employment.
If the employer to whom the attachment order relates ceases to pay salary or wages to the defendant for a reason other than the defendant’s dismissal or res- ignation from the employment of the employer, the employer must, within 7 days after ceasing to pay the salary or wages, notify the Registrar of the court in which the attachment order was issued of the day on which the salary or wages ceased to be paid.
(5) Where the employer makes default in the payment of any money in satisfaction of any such charge, that money shall become a debt due by the employer to the Crown, and may be recovered by the Crown by action in any court of compe- tent jurisdiction.
