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
dont show up
ticket gets quashed

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.
I have been reading Fight Your Traffic Ticket site and have a couple of comments.
I was issued two tickets at the same time, one for invalid left turn (Hwy 7 in Markham and Swansea). Another one, because the officer did not like my copy of registration documents.
I am planning to challenge it in the…
Hi all,
This happened in last year (2015) April. I was going to pick up my son from Queen's University (Kingston) after his exams, and I guess I was too excited and was caught speeding 36km. The cop didn't say anything to me, just asked for my registration etc. Came back and handed me the ticket and…
Asking for input on whether I should hire someone or go to court myself.
Situation:

Hi,
I got ticketed for a 72 in a 50 zone that I actually thought was a 60 zone as it was less than a km before.
I had an aggressive driver on my bumper so after tapping my brakes a few time I accelerated to merge into a different lane which was when I got caught in a speed trap.
The combination of…

Hi everyone!

In early March I was driving in the Yonge & Churchil area. An officer said I failed to stop at a stop sign and ticketed me 110+3 demerits. While getting my license etc. I have multiple photocopy of my car ownership in my car, and that I thought I handed him the copy with the validation…
