Option #1: Plea of Guilty – Voluntary Payment of Total Payable

This is an out-of-court payment option. A defendant who has been served with an Offence Notice and chooses not to contest the charge may make payment to the court office on the back of the Offence Notice. Instructions are set out on the Payment Notice.

These payments may be made in person at the court office indicated on the back of the Offence Notice or at any other Provincial Offences Court office in the Province. You can also mail a cheque or money order payable to The Regional Municipality of York, or you can insert your Visa or MasterCard number on the Payment Notice, sign it and mail your payment along with the Offence Notice and the Payment Notice, to the court office indicated on the back of the Offence Notice or the Payment Notice. Alternatively, a payment may be made online by clicking on the Paytickets.ca link and using Visa or MasterCard. An additional fee is payable if you chose to pay online.

The defendant must pay the "total payable" in full. Payment is deemed to be a plea of guilty. Demerit points for certain Highway Traffic Act offences may apply.

If a partial payment is made, or if the defendant's cheque is returned for insufficient funds, the fine will not be considered paid and an NSF charge may be applied.
===================================

Option #2: Early Resolution

This is an informal meeting with a prosecutor to try to resolve your charge or charges without going to trial. The investigating officer does not attend the meeting and it is not a trial date. If the charge cannot be resolved, you still have a right to a trial.

Check the box indicating you wish to meet with a prosecutor and either mail the offence notice to the address of the court office set out on the ticket, or attend in person at the court office to file it (a licensed paralegal, lawyer, friend or family member can file it for you). Make a copy of the Offence Notice (ticket) for your records.

If you live more than 75 km from the court office referred to on your ticket, you can request a meeting by phone. Check MapQuest or Google for the driving distance from your home to the address of the court office. If you request a phone meeting and you live closer than 75 km, a meeting will be scheduled requiring you to attend in person. You will be sent a meeting notice to the address on file. You must notify the court if your address changes.

Effective January 1, 2017 option #2 Early Resolution will be replaced with Option #2 Walk in Guilty. Please note there will be a transition period and if you receive an offence notice with the Early Resolution option a meeting will be scheduled if requested. More information can be obtained by contacting the court office directly. This option will be available to those who do not wish to dispute the charge but want to plead guilty before a justice of the peace and make submissions as to penalty (e.g. amount of fine and/or time to pay). Before pleading with submissions as to penalty, it is important that you understand what a justice of the peace can and cannot do when you plead guilty under this option.

The justice of the peace can

Reduce the amount of the set fine
Give you an extension of time in which you can pay the fine

The justice of the peace cannot

Reduce the charge; e.g. a speeding charge of 20 kilometres over the limit cannot be reduced to 15 kilometres
Remove or reduce the demerit points to be applied. Demerit points are applied by the Ministry of Transportation upon conviction and the court cannot change the demerit points to be applied.

You must attend in person at the court office shown on the back of your ticket to plead guilty before a justice of the peace. For best results, please call the court office ahead of time to ensure judicial availability.
========================================

Option #3: Trial Option

The trial option requires you or your agent (this can include a licensed paralegal, a lawyer or a family member who fills out the form on your behalf) to attend the address of the court office set out on the ticket to complete and file a Notice of Intention to Appear (NIA). A trial date will be set and a Notice of Trial will be mailed to you at the address indicated on your NIA indicating your trial time, place and date. It is your responsibility to advise the court of any change to your mailing address if your address changes after filing your NIA.
