OK, so as I understand it, the officer has seven days to file the ticket, if it is not done so within that period, the ticket is kind of nulled. I see this in a couple of places mentioned as "fatal error" and recall from my conversation I had with a city staff over ten or fifteen years ago, I was trying to pay a ticket but it would not come up on their website, when I called I was told the officer had not filed it yet and had seven days to do so, if he did not do it within that time I would not need to worry about it. I remember, I was confused then and could not understand it, but I figured, OK, I'll just wait a couple of days and try again. So, the question is, "how does one find out when the officer filed the ticket?" Thank you in advance for your help and advice

I usually call the Clerk of the Court on about day 9 or 10. By this time they should have received it. You can also go to the Clerk of the Courts office and ask to view the original Certificate of Offence. When going to trial, the other thing I always do is go see the clerk (before everything starts) and ask if I can see the original Certificate of Offence. There is usually a date stamped on it which is the date they received it and I ask them "is the date they received it?". I did have one Clerk tell me that if they get it after 7 days they are not even allowed to file it, but of course human error could allow one that is filed after 7 days to still end up in the system so it is worth double checking.

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.

I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.
Last night, at 7pm, I was at an intersection waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so that I could turn left. I thought that I was waiting at the intersection behind only one other vehicle (a van)…
So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
Late Saturday afternoon, December 1st, I entered the Shops at Don Mills with my vehicle and drove due East as I needed to make a quick deposit in the TD Bank. I made a left hand turn onto the side street and on the right side where I parked, there is a condo under construction with all the usual…
Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
