Defence Options Available When Fighting aA Provincial Offence Notice
(Plea of Guilty)
Never Recommended
Paying a provincial offence notice is never recommended as payment of the fine will be accepted as an automatic admission of guilt. This will result in a conviction entered against you for the charge as laid and you will suffer the full consequences which may include a monetary fine among other penalties.
with the Prosecution
Never Recommended
Meeting with the prosecutor is never recommended as you will not be able to obtain a copy of the evidence prior and you will not know the strength of the case against you. While there may be some form of reduction offered, there is usually little chance to secure a withdrawal regardless of your explanation which will likely do more harm than good.
Always Recommended
Your Best Option
Requesting a trial date is always recommended so that you may request and receive a copy of the evidence. Only then will you truly be able to determine the strength of the case against you and any possible defences. Choose Defend Charges to defend you at trial and increase your chances of winning.
