All
Provincial Offences Act (POA) matters scheduled from March 16, 2020 to October 16, 2020 will be adjourned and rescheduled to a later date. If you have a matter scheduled during this time, do not attend court. This applies to all POA courts in Ontario. A notice of your new court date will be sent to you by mail to the address on file with the court.
In accordance with
section 85 of the POA, the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice has
extended most timelines until December 1, 2020.
If you received an ticket after March 1, 2020, you have until December 1, 2020 to perform one of the options set out on the back of the ticket. If you don’t respond by December 1, 2020 you may be deemed not to dispute the charge and a Justice may enter a conviction for the offence.
