Questioner

Can the CJIB charge administrative costs for a traffic fine?

Lawyer

I found the following message on the internet. You can also go to the subdistrict court, but if the government is again proven wrong in the appeal, they will probably have to refund the administrative costs paid by citizens. So it is up to you to choose whether you wait and pay in advance or whether you go to the subdistrict court yourself. Much media attention for the administrative costs. Will anything change? No. The government is appealing the decision of the subdistrict court. On February 9, a subdistrict court judge ruled on the administrative costs charged by the CJIB. The CJIB collects administrative costs on behalf of the Public Prosecution Service based on the Traffic Regulations Administrative Enforcement Act (Wahv). A subdistrict court judge has stated in a ruling that administrative costs cannot be charged. This is a ruling in an individual case, which the government is appealing. For this reason, the Ministry of Security and Justice sees no reason to stop charging administration costs. No administration costs will be refunded either.

This is a case from 2012

In the meantime, the Court of Appeal in Leeuwarden has also ruled in this case. The ruling was on 15 June 2012. The CJIB may charge administrative costs when collecting traffic fines. An objection and appeal may be lodged against the charging of these administrative costs.
