A request may be made to a justice of the peace at the convicting court for an extension of time to pay the fine. This is usually granted if they can be provided proof, such as receipts from the court that some effort has been made to pay the fine in installments. If none of the fine has been paid then it will be unlikely any extension will be granted.
If a fine is not paid within the time period provided by the court, additional costs are imposed and the amount may be forwarded to a collection agency or a request may be made by the court to the Ministry of Transport to have your licence suspended.
If, after a licence is suspended the fine is paid, an additional $150 is payable to the Ministry of Transport to reinstate the licence.
The Provincial Offences Courts administer all matters that fall under the Provincial Offences Act. This includes:
If a person is convicted of an offence in a proceeding commenced by under Part I or III and a fine is imposed in respect of that offence, a surcharge is payable by that person in the amount determined by regulations made under the Provincial Offences Act.
The amount is on a sliding scale that is added to the set fine. The monies collected are meant to be used for victims of crime.
