Our fee includes your first meeting, preparing your affidavits (including from your employer or family), the draft order, filing, dealing with Police and one court appearance. Court filing and sealing fees and the NZTA licence fee are paid at cost. A third or later disqualification, or a special reasons hearing, is quoted separately. We will assess your eligibility and only put forward applications we consider viable. Granting a limited licence is a discretionary decision for a District Court judge, who ultimately decides whether an application succeeds. Police are also entitled to oppose an application. We will put forward the best possible application we can, but we cannot guarantee the outcome. Read about limited licences
