Broadcaster Duncan Garner has been charged with driving a car while his licence was suspended.

Garner, who hosts the Editor in Chief podcast, was due to appear in the Auckland District Court on Tuesday.

A registrar told RNZ the 52-year-old’s appearance had been adjourned to April 14 for disclosure and plea.

RNZ has approached Garner and his lawyer for comment.

The registrar said no suppression orders had been requested.

Court documents seen by RNZ allege Garner drove a car in Auckland on March 10 while his licence was suspended.

The charge carries a maximum penalty of three months’ imprisonment and a $4500 fine.
