They are both correct.
Yes that is how it works here in T.O.
If you are going to the courts at markham & milner here in scarborough, get there EARLY.
take a number and have a seat .
This will only be to tell them you are fighting it.
They will take the info and submit it.
You will then get a letter in the mail telling you the time and date of the preliminary meeting with the crown.
At that time have the receipt and ticket with you, the crown will throw it out right then.
I went threw this crap in the fall with my CLEAR license plate cover.
Lew, there is no more 24 hour notice or warning.
They want you to just pay instead of fighting like most do because of lost time at work.
Jedi- fight it.....
