Your traffic court date to dispute a ticket

After receiving the letter that confirms the date and time for your ticket dispute court hearing, you must attend on that date, or apply to the courts with a sufficient reason for re-arranging the date.

After you have filed a dispute

Once your dispute has been processed, you will be asked to attend a court hearing. The Provincial Court Registry will send you a Notice of Hearing letter to let you know where and when this will happen.

The time between registering your dispute and receiving this Notice of Hearing can vary, especially if it was registered during a busy time. The notice will be mailed to you when it is ready. Please note: Your address must be correct when you file your dispute as the notice will be mailed to the address on your driver’s licence.

If you can’t attend the hearing

Please inform the Provincial Court Registry if it is not possible for you to attend at the time or date you have been given. You have 30 days to apply for a new hearing date.

It is important to change this date quickly if you are unable to attend. If you do not 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.
