Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Technically I believe a Part 3 summons could be issued for any offence under the Provincial Offences Act, even minor stuff. However Part 1 tickets are preferred for most minor offences because if officers issued Part 3 summonses for everything the courts would not be able to handle the backlog.

A parking ticket won't effect your insurance so you would only be out the $60.00 if you paid. On the other hand you have sure fire win if you fight it. Do you get paid vacation days? If you do, and you weren't planing to use them for anything else, then you might as well use them to fight the parking ticket. If you don't get paid time off then you ...

While the cop has to submit a regular ticket issued under part 1 of the Provincial Offences Act within 7 days, he has up to 6 months from the date of the offence to serve you with a summons issued under part 3 of the Provincial Offences Act. So theoretically you still could be served with a summons, however in practice that seems like a lot of ...

The woman who's information was leaked would probably have grounds to file a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner, but this shouldn't effect your case one way or the other.

Fortunately red light camera tickets do not show up on your driving record and have no demerit points attached to them. Since there is no entry on your driving record your insurance company will not find out about it. Still it is a $325 fine so it may be worth your while to speak to the prosecutor to see if they are willing to lower that amount.

Thanks R.I.

Hopefully you &/or your collegues can help solve another mystery of mine as it involves a prior minor traffic offense I was charged with in 2010, and which will, because of its "recentness", likely get cited by the prosecutor who will be rebutting my "previously good driving record" defence (hoping to prove to JP of low risk to re ...

So on the ticket, at the bottom of the section where it says CONTRARY TO , he wrote in whatever highway traffic act and section and then there was some right above where he you write the plate number and he wrote
1994 PONT GRN SF

And then I requested disclosure and got a copy of the officers notes and in his notes he wrote:
1994 Green Pontiac ...

The only kind of ticket I've seen vehicle description on is a parking ticket.

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 ...

For further info I have attached a link to the Constitution act. Sections 91 and 92 outline which powers belong to the Federal Government and which ones belong to the Provinces. Section 92-10 gives the Provinces jurisdiction over "Local Works and Undertakings " which includes roads. Section 92-15 gives the Province the power to impose "Punishment ...

Ok, I hate asking so many questions but,

Is there a chance that they might try to 'ammend' the set fine in court? Is it not possible since this is an appeal?

At this stage in the process it is too late for them to amend the set fine. If they had caught the mistake before it had gone to the default docket they could have withdrawn the ticket and ...

The fact that you got a ticket while everyone else got a warning will not work as a defense in court, although I agree it seems unfair. However if you can show that the signage was inadequate then that could well work as a defense. What city did you get the ticket in? It would help to take a look at the specific by-law you were ticketed under to ...

The prosecutor might offer a deal, but if you have a solid London v. Young case I would decline it as you are in a position to win your case outright.
At court they will open the doors probably about 15 mins before they start hearing cases, the prosecutor handling your case may approach you just to make sure you are there. When the judge enters ...

It looks like the officer did give you his copy of the ticket, so it is possible that the ticket was never filed since he didn't have a copy to turn in. I would call the court house listed on the back of the ticket and see if they have any record of that ticket ever having been filed with them. If the ticket is not on file then you are probably off ...

I went through the same thing last year with a fail to stop read light ticket that had an incorrect set fine on it, so I have a bit of experience with the situation you are in. When you file your appeal you will have to pay the total payable that is listed on your ticket even though it is incorrect. If you win your appeal you will receive a full ...
