This notice sets out an alleged infringement offence.
Payments
2
If you pay the infringement fee in full as shown above in Payment of infringement fee, no further enforcement action will be taken for the offence. Please note that, unless you have an arrangement as described in paragraph 3, part payment of an infringement fee is not sufficient to avoid further enforcement action for the offence.
3
If MBIE offers the ability to pay an infringement fee by instalments and you enter into an instalment arrangement,—
(a)
the time to pay will be agreed with the enforcement authority:
(b)
the enforcement action in paragraphs 4 to 6 may be taken if you default on a payment:
(c)
you can’t request a court hearing about the infringement offence (see paragraph 13).
What happens if you do not pay on time
4
If you do not pay the infringement fee on time as shown above and do not request a hearing (see paragraph 8 for your ability to do this), you will be served with a reminder notice (unless MBIE decides to take no further action to require payment for the alleged offence). Please note that in some circumstances if you do not receive a reminder notice you may still become liable to pay a fine and court costs as set out in paragraph 5.
5
If you do not pay the infringement fee and do not request a hearing within 28 days after being served with the reminder notice,—
(a)
MBIE may, unless it decides to take no further action to require payment for the alleged offence, provide particulars of the reminder notice for filing in the District Court; and
(b)
if so, you will become liable to pay court costs as well as a fine.
6
The fine will be equal to the amount of the infringement fee or the amount of the infringement fee remaining unpaid.
Defence
7
You have a complete defence against proceedings for the alleged infringement offence if the infringement fee has been paid in full to MBIE in the manner specified in this notice before, or within 28 days after, a reminder notice for the alleged offence is served on you. Late payment or payment made in any other manner is not a defence.
Further action you may take
8
You may—
(a)
ask MBIE to consider any matter relating to the circumstances of the alleged offence; or
(b)
deny liability for the alleged offence and request a court hearing; or
(c)
admit liability for the alleged offence, but have a court consider written submissions as to penalty or otherwise.
9
To take an action listed in paragraph 8, you must write to MBIE at the address shown on this notice. You must sign the written communication and it must be delivered within 28 days after you have been served with this notice, or within any further time that MBIE allows.
10
If, in your written communication to the enforcement authority referred to in paragraph 8, you deny liability for the alleged offence and request a court hearing, MBIE will serve you with a notice of hearing that sets out the place and time at which the court will hear the matter (unless MBIE decides to take no further action to require payment for the alleged offence).
Note: If the court finds you guilty of the offence, the court is entitled to take into account any maximum fine for the offence, and not just the infringement fee. So the court may impose a fine that is greater than the infringement fee. Also, if the court finds you guilty of the offence, costs will be imposed in addition to any penalty and you will be required to pay a hearing fee. You cannot get a conviction for an infringement offence.
11
If you admit liability for the alleged offence but want the court to consider your submissions as to penalty or otherwise, you must, in your written communication to the enforcement authority,—
(a)
request a hearing; and
(b)
admit liability for the offence; and
(c)
set out the submissions you wish the court to consider.
12
If you take the action in paragraph 11, MBIE will file your written communication with the court (unless MBIE decides to take no further action to require payment for the alleged offence). If you follow this process, there will be no oral hearing before the court.
Note: The court is entitled to take into account any maximum fine for the offence, and not just the infringement fee. So the court may impose a fine that is greater than the infringement fee. Also, costs will be imposed in addition to any penalty. You cannot get a conviction for an infringement offence.
13
If MBIE offers the ability to pay an infringement fee by instalments and you enter into an instalment arrangement, paragraphs 8(b) and (c) and 9 to 12 do not apply, and you are not entitled to request a hearing to deny liability or to ask the court to consider any submissions (as to penalty or otherwise).
