Stages of provincial offence litigation

Common Offences include:

  • Excessive noise
  • Speeding
  • Driving without a permit
  • Disobeying traffic signs
  • Parking infractions
  • Not having proof of insurance
  • Public intoxication
    Trespassing

What happens if I ignore my ticket?

  • If you do not respond to the ticket within 15 days, you may be convicted of the offence you are charged with.
  • If you are convicted you would be required to pay the set fine, court costs and, if it is not a parking ticket, the victim fine surcharge by the due date.
  • Failure to pay the fine imposed upon conviction by the due date will result in one or more of the following:
    • For certain offences, including parking infractions, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation could refuse to issue or validate your vehicle permit
    • For certain offences, including speeding, your driver’s licence could be suspended
    • You will be charged an additional administrative fee
    • Your defaulted fine will be referred to a collection agency
    • Your defaulted fine information will be given to a credit bureau.

Will convicted provincial offences affect my immigration status or application?

It may affect your future immigration matters. Provincial offences are regulatory (non-criminal) offences that include, but are not limited to:

  • Speeding, careless driving, or not wearing your seat belt
  • Failing to surrender your insurance card or possessing a false or invalid insurance card
  • Being intoxicated in a public place or selling alcohol to a minor
  • Trespassing or failing to leave premises after being directed to do so
  • Occupational Health and Safety Act and Ministry of Environment violations
  • Noise, taxi and animal care city bylaws.

Is it worth it to fight my speeding ticket in court?

 If you quietly pay it, your insurance rates rates could jump quicker than that needle on your speedometer.

It’s probably worth fighting because your insurance is going to be affected even if there are no demerits.

Fighting it could cost more than the ticket – but it could save you money when you factor in your insurance.

How do I fight a ticket?

You have the right to challenge your tickets in court. Many court locations permit defendants to meet with prosecutors before the trial to see if the charge can be resolved. If you receive an Offence Notice (ticket) for an offence other than parking, stopping or standing of a vehicle, you should phone the court and ask about First Attendance options.

We can represent you to negotiate with prosecutor before the trial for your best interests. Our unbundled legal fee is $200.

How long do I have to respond once I receive a provincial offence ticket?

Read and follow the instructions provided on back of the ticket. Within 15 days of receiving the ticket, you must choose one of the following options:

  1. Plead guilty and pay out of court
  2. Plead guilty but make submissions about penalty (e.g., amount of fine or time to pay)
  3. Go to trial.

We can represent you for the step 2 for $200. 

We also can assist you to prepare for trial and defend your charge(s). Our unbundled legal fee for the stage 3, go to trial, is $1000.
