Unfortunately, like the others have said, once you pay a ticket the courts consider the case closed and it is next to impossible to get them to reconsider the matter. At this point the only thing you can do is ask the insurance company to reconsider your rate, like curiousottman suggested, or shop around for a better rate from a different company.

I think if you explain at early resolution that you live at the address on your licence and were just borrowing the car then that ticket should get dropped, if you have some additional proof that you live there like a utility bill or a rental agreement, that wouldn't hurt. The speeding ticket will be harder to beat. In terms of requesting ...

I went through this with a red light ticket I got back in 2011 that had an incorrect set fine. I got the ticket on May 18th but they didn't send me a letter saying I had been convicted until July 29th, so it can take some time. Also, as OTD pointed out, you will only get a letter if you are convicted. If they quash the ticket you won't hear from ...

Here is my experience fighting a red light ticket with the wrong set fine on it: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic3520.html

Thanks for the explanation.

Why does the prosecutor not have the right to quash the ticket if I were to choose option 2 and meet with him?

Technically no trial has started but I'm trying to avoid wasting anyone's time taking a case with a fatal error to trial. If i meet with the prosecutor prior to trial to let him know that I will not be ...

Thanks jsherk.

Does the Ontario highway traffic act state anywhere online that a missing fine on a ticket is indeed a fatal error and would be a successful reason to appeal a conviction?

You won't find the definition of a fatal error in the act it self, instead it is contained in an Ontario Court of Appeal ruling called City of London vs. Young ...

As OTD said, they can serve you with a summons up to 6 months after the offence. Although that would be served on you personally by a police or court officer, it would not come by mail. Usually the only tickets that come by mail are red light camera tickets. That having been said most police forces won't issue a summons based solely off another ...

Unfortunately my reading of the Provincial Offences Act suggests that they can ticket you into the court of an adjoining jurisdiction so I don't think it will matter which side of the Brampton/Newmarket boarder your were on. The issue is addressed in section 29(2). https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90p33#BK45

Markham uses an administrative monetary penalty system for handling parking tickets, which means that the Provincial Offences Act doesn't apply in this case. To see if this qualifies as proper service we have to look at Markham by-law 2015-93. Fortunately the city has been good enough to post this bylaw online for us. Section 6 outlines what ...

I don't have a problem with them in school zones. Especially if there are signs in place that say photo radar ahead, much like there are with red light cameras now.

Unfortunately some JPs aren't as well versed in the law as one would hope. If you are satisfied with pleading to the Bylaw infraction then I wouldn't do anything, but for anyone else in this situation you could almost certainly appeal and at least win a new trial.

* is it illegal to do this?

Not as far as I know, although it is not necessarily recommend procedure.

* if it is could they not have done something else?

Back when I used worked for a big box retailer there was a missing child code that was read over the PA in circumstances like this. After the announcement was made staff would be positioned by ...

Alberta is one of the provinces that has made a deal with the Canada Revenue Agency to divert income tax refunds and GST rebates to pay outstanding fines. If you ignore the fine at some point in the future you may see your tax refund clawed back to pay off the amount owing plus any accumulated late penalties.

Given your situation it would probably be best to file for a court date. This will at least give you several months of breathing room while you figure out what you are going to do next. There is also a chance that some way can be found to beat the ticket.

There are two provincial offences offices in York Region. I'm not sure which one applies in your case so I posted the numbers for both. I would double check the fine print on the ticket though, usually they have their contact info on there somewhere. If there is nothing on the ticket, try calling both offices and see which one is the right one ...

You can probably pay it at their Richmond Hill office at 50 High Tech Road. Although if you are pleading guilty it would probably be simpler to just mail a cheque to the address on the back of the ticket.

Was this ticket issued in Ontario?

Highway 7 is maintained by York Region. If the amber light at that intersection isn't working pleas report it to the Road Maintenance Department.

I'd be interested to know whether the records are still in the MTO database after all this time. Also prior to 1990 (I think) it was standard practice to issue arrest warrants for people who failed to respond to their traffic tickets, I wounder what the courts have done with those outstanding warrants. Anyway, as others have said, the only way to ...

I would go to the summons date your self and see if they offer anything. If they don't then you can set a date for trial and then shop around and find a lawyer or paralegal.

They will usually let you file the ticket for trial right up until the prosecutor's office files a motion with the court to get a default judgment against you. Theoretically they can do that after 15 days have passed but in reality it usually takes them longer and certainly no one will have done that over the long weekend. So if you go in on Monday ...

I would book the ticket for trial, that in itself will give you extra time to save up some money. On your trial date talk to the prosecutor and see if they are willing to offer you a deal. They may offer something or they may say that you already got a break from the officer and offer nothing, you won't know unless you ask. If they offer nothing ...

He is looking at $85 fine ($105 after victim surcharge) and 3 demerit points. He will also have an at fault accident on his record which will result in an insurance increase.

Here is the link to a thread that goes through how to file an 11b application. Typically in order for 11b to apply your court date has to be a year or more away from the day you filed your ticket for court.

The controlling Supreme Court Cases regarding the RIDE program are Dedman v. The Queen and R. v. Hufsky. However, these cases uphold the RIDE program as legal so they don't offer much of a defence. Also the Supreme Court ruled in R. v. Ladouceur that it is legal for the police to randomly stop vehicles in order to check that the operator has a ...

yeah my ticket (similar situation where officer was wrong) shows "no valid permit". Go to the courthouse and chat with them

So would I go to the courthouse and chat with them about the ticket directly, or would I be going there to setup an appointment, and then I come back and chat with them?

This depends on the jurisdiction you are in, each ...

I thought you no longer needed to have the validation sticker affixed to the back of your ownership. If that is the case then maybe this ticket should never have been written in the first place?

You should be able to get a stamp from this office. Still to be sure that there will be someone there to stamp your form you can call them at 416-973-0942 and double check. The building it self is at the corner of King St. West and York St. If you are coming by TTC get off at Saint Andrew Station and head east, you should be able to walk it in a ...

Contact the court house in the jurisdiction where this happened first thing on Monday and explain the situation. While I'm not that familiar with the Quebec court system, I'm sure there is a procedure for reopening cases where a judgment has been issued against somebody in error. Make sure to keep a copy of the e-mail you received stating that your ...
