Re: Mis Spelled PLate on Ticket
Go get a court date and I'm sure the ticket will be quashed before it gets to court. If not you will definitely beat it.

Re: Mis Spelled PLate on Ticket
Like wytbishop said, you won already.
Even if it's an obvious mistake, like writing an "O" for a "Q", or an "I" for a "T", the court can not legally assume it was. So they have to turn it down for "irregularities" in the data provided.

Take it to court, because no matter the verdict, the cop still gets overtime pay from YOUR tax dollars.

Re: Mis Spelled PLate on Ticket
Well it's not a fatal error according to the law of Ontario but you still may have a chance. I hope you fought it.
An error that will get your ticket canceled is called a "fatal error."
Under the Ontario Provincial Offences Act some minor mistakes on speeding tickets can be corrected at court by the prosecution, but fatal errors cannot. For example, there maybe a mistake in the spelling of your name, the licence plate or year of the car is wrong. These are minor mistakes that can be corrected on the trial date by the Justice of the Peace or prosecutor and are not a fatal errors.
Fatal errors are mistakes that will get the traffic ticket cancelled because they are not fixable or amendable by the prosecution.
A mistake like the officer not putting his name on the speeding ticket is considered a "Fatal Error" and upon application by the defendant or his licensed paralegal the Justice of the Peace may "quash" or cancel the ticket.
If your Speeding Ticket has a fatal error a you have to make a motion to the court, and Justice of the Peace to review the error and make a ruling.

Re: Mis Spelled PLate on Ticket
I had a ticket for my LCD many years ago. I went to fight it and it was thrown out for exactly that reason...but I didn't know until the first attendant told me.To this day I still think the cop did that on purpose._-Night-Shade-_ wrote:A mistake like the officer not putting his name on the speeding ticket is considered a "Fatal Error" and upon application by the defendant or his licensed paralegal the Justice of the Peace may "quash" or cancel the ticket.

I've seen Judges find a guilty verdict stating that mistakes happen. Don't assume your automatically off the hook. But yes see the court clerk

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Re: Mis Spelled PLate on Ticket
I agree... I can attest to this... on some of my tickets it worked, on others it doesn't matter if there are spelling errors or not... just depends how the clerk/judge feels that day (and your prior driving history).Daninski wrote:I've seen Judges find a guilty verdict stating that mistakes happen.

Re: Mis Spelled PLate on Ticket
Yeah i booked a date to fight the charge still haven't gotten a letter with a date. Dude at the desk said it is an amendable error and the judge will fix it, since the ticket is to your license not your plates.

Re: Mis Spelled PLate on Ticket
If worst comes to worst they will always give you a plea bargain just for showing up, better than nothing. Also if it takes like a year to get a trial you can try to get it quashed by the 11b Application from the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms:
Any person charged with an offence in Canada has the right to be tried within a reasonable period of time under section 11b of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
