I received an infringement notice for speeding through a fixed camera, but I was elsewhere on the day, and my car may have been misread. The fine is hefty and I could lose demerit points. How do I dispute it and what will happen if I fail?

You can request a review of an infringement notice from the issuing authority, and you should do so before the fine becomes due, providing evidence such as photographs of the number plate, receipts or location data showing you were elsewhere. If the review is refused, you can ask for a court hearing, in which the prosecution must prove the offence and you can present your evidence. Under the Land Transport Act 1998 demerit points accumulate, and reaching 100 points within two years leads to a three month licence suspension, so it is worth defending errors. If you are the registered owner but were not the driver, you may need to nominate the actual driver. Check the notice for the deadlines, as missing them can cost you your review rights.

I have a pile of unpaid court fines and I know the court collectors have been in touch. I have been told that people can be jailed for fines. How real is the risk, and what can I do to sort this out? Nobody has given me a straight answer and I want to understand where I actually stand.

I have been charged with a serious offence and the judge mentioned my right to elect trial by jury. I do not understand who decides that or when a judge-alone trial is possible. How does it work in New Zealand?
