The appeal must be in writing and set out in a statutory declaration. It must clearly state the grounds for the appeal. The declaration must be taken in front of someone entitled to take statutory declarations.
Who will determine my appeal?
4
The initial appeal against the 28 day suspension of your driver licence will be determined by a person authorised by the New Zealand Transport Agency or the Director of Land Transport.
Is there a time limit within which an appeal must be determined?
5
The person authorised by the New Zealand Transport Agency or the Director of Land Transport to determine your appeal has 5 working days after an appeal has been lodged to either allow the appeal and remove the suspension or dismiss the appeal. You will be advised of the outcome of your appeal.
Results of appeal to New Zealand Transport Agency or Director of Land Transport
6
The person authorised by the New Zealand Transport Agency or the Director of Land Transport to determine your appeal will either allow the appeal or dismiss it. He or she may refuse to consider your appeal if satisfied that the appeal is frivolous or vexatious, or that you have provided insufficient information. If your appeal is not dismissed on these grounds, the person considering your appeal will allow it if satisfied that one of the grounds listed in paragraph 2 above is established. If he or she is not satisfied that one of the grounds listed in paragraph 2 is established, the appeal will be dismissed.
Appeal to District Court
7
If your appeal is dismissed, you may appeal to the District Court where a District Court Judge will decide whether or not your appeal should be allowed. An appeal to a District Court must be made not later than 28 days after the date on which you were notified of the decision appealed against, or within such further period as the court may allow. Requirements about the way in which the appeal is to be made and determined are specified in section 111 of the Act. The District Court must determine the appeal only on the grounds specified in the Act.
Return of licence
8
If your appeal is allowed, or if before the suspension of your drivers licence ceases to have effect the Police finally decide not to take proceedings against you, or if proceedings have been taken and you are acquitted, the suspension will immediately cease to have effect. In these circumstances your physical driver licence will be returned to you at your last known place of residence or business or postal address, or held at the office of the New Zealand Transport Agency nominated by you in the statutory declaration that must accompany your appeal.

If paragraph 8 does not apply you should contact a licensing agent authorised by the New Zealand Transport Agency or the Director of Land Transport after the expiry of the period of suspension of your driver licence.

Part 2
Outline of rights relating to impoundment of vehicle referred to in this notice
What about personal property in the vehicle?
1
Any personal property (other than property attached to or used in connection with the operation of the vehicle) will be released on request to any person who produces satisfactory evidence that he or she was lawfully entitled to possession of the vehicle or personal property immediately before the vehicle was moved. If the vehicle was carrying goods at the time of seizure and impoundment, they will be released to any person acting on behalf of the owner of the goods if the person produces satisfactory evidence of the owner’s consent to the release or they will be released to a bailiff or constable executing a warrant to seize property under section 98 of the Summary Proceedings Act 1957.
Will my trailer be impounded?
2
A trailer or any other vehicle without motive power that is being towed by or is attached to a motor vehicle at the time of seizure and impoundment will not be seized or impounded.
What are my appeal rights?
3
If you are the registered person of the motor vehicle that has been seized and impounded (or the owner of the vehicle, if it is not registered), you may appeal against the seizure and impoundment of the vehicle. In the first instance, you may appeal to the Police; if that appeal is unsuccessful, you may then appeal to the District Court. If you decide to appeal to the Police, you must lodge your appeal with the Police within 14 days of the date on which the vehicle was seized and impounded. After that time, you may appeal to the District Court only with the agreement of the Police, who must be satisfied that exceptional circumstances exist that prevented you from appealing to the Police within the 14-day period. These appeal rights are set out in full in sections 102 and 110 of the Act.
What are the grounds for appeal?
4
The grounds for appeal are that—
(a)
the impounded vehicle was a stolen or converted vehicle at the time of the seizure and impoundment; or
(b)
the enforcement officer who seized the vehicle did not believe on reasonable grounds that at the time of driving (or operating) the vehicle on a road,—

if section 96(1AA) of the Act applies, the driver operated the vehicle in a manner that breached a qualifying bylaw and the vehicle was subject to a warning notice issued under section 22AF of the Act; or
(iv)
[Revoked](ba)
the enforcement officer who seized the motor vehicle did not believe on reasonable grounds that—
(i)
either—
(A)
the driver of the vehicle failed or refused to provide information or provided false or misleading information in response to a demand for information made by the officer under section 114(3)(b); or
(B)
the registered person for, or the hirer of, the motor vehicle, without reasonable excuse, failed or refused to provide information or provided false or misleading information in response to a request under section 118(4); and
(ii)
impounding the vehicle is necessary to prevent a serious threat to road safety; or
(c)
the enforcement officer who seized the vehicle did not comply with the notice requirements set out in section 96(2) of the Act; or
(d)
if section 96(1A) or (1AA) or 96AAA of the Act applies, the registered person or vehicle owner did not know and could not reasonably have been expected to know that the operator of the vehicle would contravene section 22A(1) or (3), 22AF, or section 114 of the Act (whichever applies); or
(e)
if section 96(1A) or (1AA) or 96AAA of the Act applies, the registered person or vehicle owner took all reasonable steps to prevent the operator of the vehicle from contravening section 22A(1) or (3), 22AF, or section 114 of the Act (whichever applies); or
(f)
if section 96AAB of the Act applies, the registered person or vehicle owner (not being the driver who failed to stop (or remain stopped)) either—
(i)
did not know, and could not reasonably have been expected to know, the identity of the driver; or
(ii)
has otherwise provided the information requested under section 118(4) of the Act.
How do I lodge an appeal?
5
If you believe you have grounds for appealing against the impoundment of the vehicle, you should go to the Police station nearest to where the vehicle was impounded and pick up a copy of the appeal documents. The appeal must be in writing and set out in a statutory declaration. It must clearly state the grounds for the appeal. The declaration must be taken in front of someone entitled to take statutory declarations. You must lodge your appeal with the Police within 14 days of the date on which the vehicle was seized and impounded.
Who will determine my appeal?
6
The initial appeal against the impoundment of a vehicle will be determined by an enforcement officer authorised for the purpose by the Commissioner of Police.
Is there a time limit within which an appeal must be determined?
7
The officer who determines your appeal must do so as soon as is reasonably practicable and not later than 2 working days after the day of lodgement, in the case of an appeal lodged on the ground that the impounded vehicle was a stolen or converted vehicle at the time of seizure and impoundment, and not later than 5 working days after the day of lodgement, in any other case.
Results of appeal to Police
8
The officer who determines your appeal will either allow the appeal or dismiss it. He or she may refuse to consider your appeal if satisfied that the appeal is frivolous or vexatious, or that you have provided insufficient information. If your appeal is not dismissed on these grounds, the officer who considers it will allow it if satisfied that one of the grounds listed in paragraph 4 is established. If he or she is not satisfied that one of the grounds listed in paragraph 4 is established, the appeal will be dismissed.
Appeal to District Court
9
If your appeal is dismissed, you may appeal to the District Court where a District Court Judge will decide whether your appeal should be allowed. An appeal to a District Court must be made not later than 28 days after the date on which you were notified of the decision appealed against, or within such further period as the court may allow. Requirements about the way in which the appeal is to be made and determined are specified in section 111 of the Act. The District Court must determine the appeal only on the grounds specified in the Act.
Towage and storage fees
10
The fees for towage and storage are set out in regulations. You can obtain a copy of the fees from your nearest Police station.
How do I go about paying the fees?
11
If you are liable to pay fees for towage or storage, the law, in general, requires you to pay the fees in full or enter into an arrangement with the storage provider to pay the outstanding fees over time. You can arrange to pay some or all of the fees during the period of the impoundment.
Release of vehicle
12
The storage provider must release the impounded vehicle to the registered person (or the owner of the vehicle, if it is not registered) or a person authorised by the registered person (or owner) if your appeal is successful. The storage provider must release the impounded vehicle to the registered person (or owner) if the Police finally decide not to take proceedings against the person who drove the vehicle (or operated the vehicle), or if proceedings have been taken and the person is acquitted. The Act specifies other circumstances in which an impounded vehicle may be released before the close of the 28-day impoundment period. The storage provider must release the impounded vehicle to the registered person (or owner) of the vehicle, or a person authorised by the registered person (or owner), on or after the close of the 28-day impoundment period if the registered person (or owner) or authorised person—
(a)
shows proof of identity and either proof of ownership of the vehicle or the registered person’s copy of this notice; and
(b)
pays the towage and storage fees and charges or enters into an arrangement with the storage provider to pay those fees and charges. (Note that a registered person (or owner) may enter into an arrangement only with the agreement of the person with whom the arrangement is entered into.)
Vehicle may be seized under warrant
13
The vehicle may be seized by a bailiff or constable executing a warrant to seize property under section 98 of the Summary Proceedings Act 1957 or by a registrar, bailiff, or constable executing a warrant of confiscation under section 132 of the Sentencing Act 2002.
Vehicle and personal property may be sold by storage provider
14
The storage provider may apply to an enforcement officer authorised by the Commissioner of Police for approval to dispose of the impounded vehicle, and any personal property found in the vehicle, if—
(a)
10 days have elapsed since the close of the impoundment period; and
(b)
the registered person for the vehicle (or the owner of the vehicle, if it is not registered) or a person authorised by the registered person (or owner) has not claimed the vehicle and has not paid the towage and storage fees and charges or entered into an arrangement to pay those fees and charges; and
(c)
no other person has established to the satisfaction of the authorised officer that the person is entitled to possession of the vehicle or any personal property found in the vehicle.

What about personal property in the vehicle?
1
Any personal property (other than property attached to or used in connection with the operation of the vehicle) will be released on request to any person who produces satisfactory evidence that he or she was lawfully entitled to possession of the vehicle or personal property immediately before the vehicle was moved. If the vehicle was carrying goods at the time of seizure and impoundment, they will be released to any person acting on behalf of the owner of the goods if the person produces satisfactory evidence of the owner’s consent to the release, or they will be released to a bailiff or constable executing a warrant to seize property under section 98 of the Summary Proceedings Act 1957.
Will my trailer be impounded?
2
A trailer or any other vehicle without motive power that is being towed by or is attached to a motor vehicle at the time of seizure and impoundment will not be seized or impounded.
What are my appeal rights?
3
If you are the registered person of the motor vehicle that has been seized and impounded (or the owner of the vehicle, if it is not registered), you may appeal against the seizure and impoundment of the vehicle. In the first instance, you may appeal to the Police; if that appeal is unsuccessful, you may then appeal to the District Court. If you decide to appeal to the Police, you must lodge your appeal with the Police within 14 days after the date on which the vehicle was seized and impounded. After that time, you may appeal to the District Court only with the agreement of the Police, who must be satisfied that exceptional circumstances exist that prevented you from appealing to the Police within the 14-day period. These appeal rights are set out in full in sections 102 and 110 of the Act.
What are the grounds for appeal?
4
The grounds for appeal are that—
(a)
the impounded vehicle was a stolen or converted vehicle at the time of the seizure and impoundment; or
(b)
the enforcement officer who seized the vehicle did not believe on reasonable grounds that, at the time of driving (or operating) the vehicle on a road, a person driving the vehicle had failed to stop (or remain stopped) as signalled, requested, or required under section 114 of the Act; or
(c)
the enforcement officer who seized the vehicle did not comply with the notice requirements set out in section 96(2) of the Act; or
(d)
the registered person (or the owner of the vehicle, if it is not registered) did not know and could not reasonably have been expected to know that the operator of the vehicle would contravene section 114 of the Act; or
(e)
the registered person (or the owner) took all reasonable steps to prevent the operator of the vehicle from contravening section 114 of the Act; or
(f)
the registered person (or owner)—
(i)
was not the person driving the vehicle when the vehicle failed to stop (or remain stopped); and
(ii)
either—
(A)
did not know, and could not reasonably have been expected to know, the identity of the driver; or
(B)
has otherwise provided the information requested under section 118(4); or
(g)
release of the vehicle to the registered person (or the owner) is appropriate because—
(i)
the seizure and impoundment of the vehicle have resulted or will result in—
(A)
extreme hardship to that person (whether in relation to employment or otherwise); or
(B)
undue hardship to a person other than that person (whether in relation to employment or otherwise); and
(ii)
release of the vehicle is not contrary to the interests of road safety; or
(h)
the driver drove the vehicle in a serious medical emergency (which for the purpose of this paragraph includes carrying a person who is about to give birth).
How do I lodge an appeal?

If you believe you have grounds for appealing against the impoundment of the vehicle, you should go to the Police station nearest to where the vehicle was impounded and pick up a copy of the appeal documents. The appeal must be in writing and set out in a statutory declaration. It must clearly state the grounds for the appeal. The declaration must be taken in front of someone entitled to take statutory declarations. You must lodge your appeal with the Police within 14 days after the date on which the vehicle was seized and impounded.

Notes
This notice has been issued by, or under a delegation from, the Commissioner of Police.
Under section 98A(4)(a) of the Act, the Commissioner must cancel this notice if the person named in Part 1—
(a)
does not own, or does not have a legal or equitable interest in, the vehicle; or
(b)
is not convicted of an offence that would permit or require a court to order the confiscation of the vehicle under the Sentencing Act 2002; or
(c)
is convicted of such an offence but a court does not order the confiscation of the vehicle under the Sentencing Act 2002.
Alternatively, under section 98A(4)(b) of the Act, the Commissioner may cancel this notice if—
(a)
the vehicle was stolen or converted at the time the person named in Part 1 used it in a way that gave rise to the charge; or
(b)
the registered person for the vehicle named in Part 2 took all reasonable steps to prevent the person named in Part 1 from using the vehicle in a way that gave rise to the charge; or
(c)
the Commissioner is satisfied that prohibiting the sale of the vehicle would entail undue hardship to the person named in Part 1, the registered person for the motor vehicle named in Part 2, or any other person.
Appeal of notice to District Court
Any person who is given notice under section 98A may appeal, under section 98B of the Act, to the District Court against the Commissioner’s decision to give the notice.
