Failure to appear at trial
Where a trial has been requested, a Notice of Trial issued, and the defendant fails to appear (or be represented) in court at the date, time and place set for the hearing, the defendant will be deemed not to dispute the charge. The justice of the peace will examine the certificate of parking infraction and, without hearing evidence of the officer, enter a conviction in your absence and impose the set fine for the offence if the certificate is complete and regular on its face. A Notice of Fine and Due Date will be mailed to the defendant to the address provided at the time the trial was requested.(See section 18.4 of the Provincial Offences Act for further details.)
