Former Wellington Mayor Dame Kerry Prendergast disputed a $40 parking ticket in court over ambiguous signage.

Former Wellington Mayor Dame Kerry Prendergast disputed a $40 parking ticket in court, arguing that the signage was "ambiguous". She claimed there were no clear signs indicating that parking was not allowed on the paved section of slip-road between Dixon and Ghuznee Streets, where she parked her car. The hearing didn't proceed due to the absence of the scheduled Justice of the Peace.
