WITHOUT PREJUDICE – NOTICE OF NON-PAYMENT PENDING DISCLOSURE

To: Ministry of Justice – Fines

(and/or Westport District Court)

Re: Alleged Court Fines – Barbara Lynne Stirrup

CRNs: 25086100775 / 25086100776 / 25086100777

I write regarding the above “Notice of Court Fine” documents issued on 10 December 2025.

No payment will be made in respect of these notices unless and until lawful proof of process is produced.

The documents provided disclose no evidence of:

service of a summons or charging document

notification of a hearing

a court appearance or hearing in absence

a judicial or JP decision

the evidential basis relied upon

the procedural steps by which the matters were converted into court fines

A court fine cannot lawfully arise without notice, service, and an opportunity to be heard. None of those elements are disclosed.

Accordingly, payment is expressly withheld pending full disclosure, including but not limited to:

Proof of service for each charge

The charging documents

The court file and minute for each CRN

The identity of the decision-maker

The legal authority relied upon to impose the fines

This notice is not a refusal to comply with lawful orders. It is a request for the basic records required to establish that any lawful order exists.

Until such disclosure is provided, enforcement action, penalties, or adverse reporting would be improper.

Please treat this letter as a formal notice on the record.
