Parking ticket question?

[Big Rig]

Do not pay parking tickets!

Sometimes I work for a house mover that gets lots of tickets. Every monday he collects them and takes them to the courts listed on the back to plead not guilty. Because the courts are so plugged they never set a court date for anything under $100

Sometimes I work for a house mover that gets lots of tickets. Every monday he collects them and takes them to the courts listed on the back to plead not guilty. Because the courts are so plugged they never set a court date for anything under $100

I did a friend a favor today and filed a $30 parking ticket that he received requesting a trial. I had to sign my signature as my friends agent. I also requested on the yellow notice of intention to appear that the parking officer attend the trial. The parking cashier said my friend would receive a trial notice in the mail in approximately 6 months and that the trial would take place around a year from now.

I wonder if they will bother setting a trial date for my friends $30 parking ticket or not?

Also on the white city of toronto form with the heading notice of impending conviction a small phrase in fine print caught my eye.

This phrase says that on conviction you will be required to pay the set fine plus court costs of $16.00 ?

I guess if you wind up plea bargaining down the fine at trial then the $16 court costs will no longer apply?
