I am getting ready to submit my defence as the due date is two days away. Would anyone else be willing to share their thoughts and opinions on this? Anything constructive is always appreciated.nickel052 wrote: ↑ When parking tickets were provincial offences, an incorrect set fine was grounds to have the ticket withdrawn. Is this still the case for the new municipally enforced systems?
I received a parking ticket last night in Richmond Hill for parking on the road between 3-6am (1116.3.7o).
I noticed my ticket is now $50 instead of the previous $30.
The new fines are reflected on Richmond Hill’s list of by-laws F98DA899-E7D9-4573-9B64-6E02724AA659.jpeg

however, the changes are not reflected in their published Chapter 11164BCAC276-5982-460C-B2A9-3567B46E13E7.jpeg(https://www.richmondhill.ca/en/shared-c ... 8-1116.pdf), the Chapter in which the parking by-laws are defined. The document still indicates the old set fine of $30.
This isn’t some old document I went scouring the web for. It’s the hyperlink for “Chapter 1116” on their list of parking by-laws, and would otherwise be taken as the most recent and accurate version accessible to the public. 8A5B3E67-233B-4041-B48A-E7E526BDEF44.jpeg
or try (https://www.richmondhill.ca/en/our-serv ... -laws.aspx) and click parking by-laws. In fact when I called Richmond Hill, that is the link I was directed to.
The document also defines the offence as “Park on a highway between the hours of 3 am and 6 pm” instead of 6 am. I technically did still violate that, but an error worth noting.
Given the set fine on my ticket does not match the set fine defined in the document, will it be grounds for withdrawal?
Thanks
