What is an appeal or reopening?
Once you have been convicted (found guilty) of an offence, you will need to have the case appealed or reopened if you would like to fight or negotiate it. This is done through a specific application process which is complicated and needs to be carefully worded to ensure that it is not denied.
How do I appeal my traffic ticket?
There are very specific rules and requirements regarding appeals or reopenings of traffic tickets. You generally need to be within the time limitation and have adequate grounds. Contact us HERE to find out whether we can help.
What if I missed my court date?
It depends what kind of court date you missed, but it is quite likely that you were deemed not to dispute the charge and were convicted in absence. However, it is possible that the matter was adjourned to another date, so you should call the court to find out.
How Do I Reopen My Traffic Ticket Case?
If you were convicted in absence, you may qualify for a Reopening. Generally these are granted when the reason nobody attended court was of no fault of your own. More serious offences may require an Appeal rather than a Reopening. Call our office to find out what options you have.
