Re: No set fine,no total payable
Select Option 3 and the ticket should be quashed.
If you are given a court date, attend and point out the mistake on the ticket.
This does not mean you are necessarily 'scott free'.... you may be issued another ticket by the officer upon discovering his mistake. But hopefully not.
Re: No set fine,no total payable
i dont realy like taking risks like that
could i just not go to the courthouse with option 2 and hope the jp quashes it
worse part is im in mississauga and ticket is in peterborough
could i resolve this in mississauga courthouse
Re: No set fine,no total payable
If you choose option 2, the JP will not quash the ticket. You are pleading guilty with an explanation, so you'll take whatever fine they give you plus the associated demerit points. That would basically be saying: "I'm guilty... but please throw out the charge."

No. If you can't attend, get a paralegal to represent you.

Actually... if you go in there on the day of trial, they can fix the mistake of no set fine. But if you default and don't appear when given a trial date, the "London v. Young procedure" takes over, so if you get convicted, you'd appeal it based on the ticket having a fatal error, and then the ticket would be quashed. The procedure doesn't make sense, in that a fatal error should result in the ticket being thrown out regardless, but that's not how the Provincial Offences Act was written...
Re: No set fine,no total payable
so pick option 3

Don't even bother selecting option 3, do nothing and let the ticket go into default. Once the ticket goes into default it will be sent to JP who will review it, if the ticket is correct and regular on its face the JP is supposed to impose the set fine on the ticket. If the ticket is not correct and regular on its face the JP is supposed to quash the ticket. Since yours is not correct and regular on its face it should get quashed, if it doesn't you have good grounds for appeal as set out in the London vs. Young case.

The muffler was starting to fall off 2 days ago so i took it off so it wouldnt break off and damage someone else's vehicle. the same day i ordered a new muffler on ebay. and now today i got a ticket for not having a muffler. the cop said…

Hi. I have been researching the law when it comes to introducing evidence to court. I have requested disclosure and am making a Charter challenge on the grounds that incomplete disclosure. In my research, I have discovered a book on radar use in North America, it is essentially the radar bible.…
Hi there,
I was curious if there is any way that demerit points can be reduced or taken off of one's record after the tickets have been paid. I know in Alberta one can take a 'safe driving course' after a certain amount of time with a clean record and get demerit points taken off. Is there any such…

Hi, thanks in advance for the help. Been driving for 10 years, clean record until today when I got slapped with two tickets. First: going 135 at 100 on the 401, second: not having a valid sticker (I recently moved and completely forgot about it)

Hi all...I'm hoping I can get some clarification on a couple of questions I haven't been able to research myself.
In September I got a ticket for going 79 in a 50 zone at a speed trap.
I still need to request disclosure as I was waiting for my notice of trial which came in December and I was busy…

Hi All,
I am not sure if my case is really a case of " mis-use parking permit" and need some advises on whether i should fight the ticket. Here is what happened:
