Speeding Offence: Objection and Appeal

Questioner

I received a speeding ticket. I appealed, but I never received a substantive decision (a blank line from the Central Judicial Collection Agency (CJIB) and never a "separately sent explanation" from the Public Prosecution Service). They did send an acknowledgement of receipt. I understood from the payment slip that I had to pay it. I did, but then appealed. I also received an acknowledgement of receipt, but it's dated July 12, 2012. How long do they have to respond to my appeal, and shouldn't the decision on my objection have simply been explained?

Questioner

Dear questioner, From your story, I gather you've already paid the fine. That's why you haven't received a decision yet, as the fine has already been paid. If you disagree with a fine imposed, you should NOT pay it but object to it and then appeal if you disagree with the decision. Trusting that this has answered your question.

Questioner

I don't think that's entirely correct, because the back of the letter from the CJIB states that before the subdistrict court will consider my appeal, I must first "provide security." This means that the imposed sanction plus the administrative costs must be credited to the CJIB's account. If I don't provide security, my appeal may not be processed.

Questioner

For the record, I already filed an objection, received no reason for it, then filed an appeal and only received an acknowledgement of receipt.

Questioner

Dear questioner, It's true that you must provide security when filing a written appeal with the subdistrict court. Your explanation doesn't indicate that you did so. It's unclear to me what type of fine you're appealing against and to whom you addressed your appeal. It is best to contact the CJIB by phone at 058-215 95 55. Or if you need further advice, you can contact me and I will be happy to assist you. Kind regards,
