When you do catch me how do you want it Cheque, Visa or Cash..?
    Hey dude, im NOT a fines collector I WAS one and I had to deal with idiots all the time.... Pay it how you want, or don't. I really dont give a flying fu*k mate, but just think before you start spouting stuff of when you don't have all the facts.
    The courts are like Baycorp, the issuing authority passes the imposition to the courts and the courts have no choice but to collect it unless the issuing authority withdraws it. If you clocked up a huge debt with a finance company by not paying it and they passed it onto Baycorp you would know without argument that you had to pay it or lose your credit rating... just so you could understand.

    Believe me, piss an officer of the court off over a $27 parking fine from 1987 and not too many really care a damn.

    Baycorp is a business, and is still in business, and doesn't spend 18 years and much taxpayer dollars in excess of the fine, taking up Court, Police and Border rescoursces over $27.

    Haven't been into this sub-forum before but there is clearly some fun to be had.

    Ramius and St8 Jacket are correct and have given good advice.

    What is being overlooked is that traffic fines are a Summary offence. That means they are dealt with summarily. The law permits an officer to issue an instant fine - pay it if you want to. Payment is a guilty plea.

    If you do nothing, the District Court sends you an infringement notice by post. You then must advise the Court that you want to plead not guilty at a hearing. They set a hearing usually presided over by Justices of the Peace.

    The infringement process is not a summons. A summons has to be personally served on you.

    If you don't turn up for the hearing, then the only evidence is what the prosecution (Police, local council parking, dog control, fish and game etc etc) present to the Court. Or if you ignore the infringement notice - same thing. Inevitably a conviction is entered followed by a fine and court costs.

    My point being that various people will read this thread and perhaps they will understand the summary procedure system better. Hey - we're here to help each other.

Two months later I got a letter from the courts saying that they had heard the case had been heard in my absence and here was my fine plus court costs etc etc. I never received a summons to the hearing.

    Does anyone have any idea what I do from here. I rang the number on the notice but typically got the collections department who couldn't help me.
    If you want to go down the road of defending your actions by all means go for it. There is an importan princple at stake here. Your right to defend yourself. The Police by not notifying you of your date in court needs to be investigated as to why this did not happen. That's your first line of defence. Write to the Police Commissoner asking this question giveing all relevent details. Send a copy of this letter to your Local MP with CC etc.

    In short the Police have fucked up and your rights have been violated. That's a strong word but untill you have been given a reason as to why the Police or the Justice Department did not notify you then at this point you have no evidence to the contrary. This you can win but don't get personal, keep the letter breif, and no need to go in great detail about the offence. Make a lot of noise if neccessary.

    Actually I sent a letter to police commisioner and minister of justice and the local electorate MP. I didn't ask them to do anything about it but just made a complaint about the way things were handled.
