1

The amount to be paid for out of court settlement of a parking offence is reduced by $36.60 if it is paid during the first 60 days after the ticket is issued.

2

“Double” indicates that the penalty prescribed for the offence is set at double the usual penalty for the category letter.

            

          (2)    Despite subsection (1), the amount to be paid for out of court settlement for an offence listed in Schedule PT is the minimum amount set out in subsection (1) for the category of the offence, regardless of the incidence of the offence.


Components of out of court settlement amount

7        (1)    An out of court settlement amount includes the penalty for the offence, the $122.50 or $36.60 charge provided for in the Act and the victim surcharge referred to in Section 7 of the Victims Rights and Services Act and the regulations under that Act, if applicable.

 

          (2)    Despite subsection (1), for an offence for which a parking-infraction ticket is issued, the $36.60 charge for parking offences provided for in the Act is waived for the first 60 days after the date upon which the ticket is issued, but if the penalty is paid after the first 60 days and the ticket has been filed with a Provincial Court, the $36.60 charge must be included in the out of court settlement amount.


Indorsement by peace officer

8        In accordance with subsections 8(5) and (6) of the Act, a ticket may be indorsed by a peace officer by entering 1 of the following, as applicable, on the summons portion of the summary offence ticket or the parking-infraction ticket:
