Early resolution and reopening
In many Ontario municipalities a person who disputes a ticket is first offered an early resolution meeting with a prosecutor. If you were convicted because you missed that meeting, or because the Early Resolution Meeting Notice, the Offence Notice or the Notice of Trial never reached you, Form 102.1 is the version of the reopening affidavit written for that process. Its file name is POA 0876.
It asks the same core questions as Form 102, but its options are an early resolution meeting or a trial instead of a guilty plea with submissions.
The choices in paragraph 2
| If | Tick |
|---|---|
| You could not attend the trial or the meeting | 2 (a): dispute the charge at trial, or attend an early resolution meeting |
| The Offence Notice never reached you | 2 (b): Offence Notice, then early resolution or the trial option |
| The meeting notice never reached you | 2 (b): Early Resolution Meeting Notice |
| The trial notice never reached you | 2 (b): Notice of Trial |
Choosing the meeting does not give up the trial
The form says so in bold: choosing early resolution does not take away your right to a trial. If the meeting does not resolve the ticket, it can still go to trial. In either case you may be convicted in your absence if you do not attend, so make sure the address and email on page 1 are the ones you check.
Before you swear it
- The wrong version. If your municipality does not use early resolution, file Form 102 instead.
- No dates in the explanation. Say when the notice should have arrived and why it did not.
- The 15 days have passed. The Act counts from the day the conviction came to your attention. File as soon as you can.
