A sworn statement used to ask the court to reopen a provincial offences matter, for example a traffic ticket you never had the chance to dispute.

Book an Appointment

If you were convicted of a provincial offence, such as a traffic ticket, without having had a chance to respond, for example because the notice never reached you, the court may let you ask for the matter to be reopened. Your explanation is set out in a sworn affidavit.

Deadlines for these requests are short, so it helps to have the affidavit sworn quickly. Book online, upload the unsigned affidavit, show your photo ID on camera and sign. The completed document is emailed to you right after the call.

Commissioned in accordance with O. Reg. 431/20. We do not advise on whether a reopening is likely to be granted; contact the court office or a paralegal about your case.
