After your dispute is filed

Part 1 - Disputing a ticket | Part 2 - After your dispute is filed

After your dispute is filed, the Provincial Court Registry will send you a Notice of Hearing to advise you of the time and location of your court hearing. Please note that there is no fixed time period between filing a Notice of Dispute and receiving a Notice of Hearing. The actual period will vary depending on the time of year and the particular court location.

The Notice of Hearing will be mailed to the address you gave when you filed your dispute.

What happens if you don't attend the hearing?

If you don't attend the Notice of Hearing, the ticket is treated as undisputed. You must pay the fine, and a conviction for the offence is added to your driving record.

What if you can't attend the hearing?

If, through no fault of your own, you are unable to attend the original hearing, you have an additional 30 days to apply to a justice of the peace for permission to attend a new hearing.

If you fail to attend the new hearing, your ticket will be treated as undisputed.

For information on how to apply for a new hearing date, contact your nearest Provincial Court Registry.
