14D Extension of time—application out-of-time—Act, s 29 (5)
A person may apply to the administering authority for an extension of time to do something mentioned in the Act, section 26 (2) or section 28 (2) if—
the person has been served with a reminder notice in relation to an infringement notice for the offence; and
the person has not done anything mentioned in the Act, section 28 (2) in relation to the reminder notice; and
the time for doing something under that section including any extension of time given under a previous application of the Act, section 29, has ended.
An application must—
be in writing; and
state the special circumstances relied on; and
include any other information required by the authority.
Note See the Act, s 29 (2) and (3) for what the administering authority must do on receiving an application.
The administering authority must allow the application if it reasonably believes special circumstances justify allowing an extension of time.
If the administering authority refuses an application, the person must do something mentioned in the Act, section 26 (2) or section 28 (2) not later than 7 days after the person is told about the decision.
