Appeals

You have the right to appeal your conviction, sentence, or both within 30 days of the conviction and/or sentence date for proceedings falling under Part I, Part II or Part III of the Provincial Offences Act (POA).

Before you file an appeal

You will have to pay your fine, including costs and victim fine surcharge and other fees, before you can file your Notice of Appeal. Please see Paying a Ticket or Fine  for instructions on how to pay a fine. Keep your fine payment receipt as Court Services (Ontario Court of Justice) will require proof of your fine payment before accepting your appeal documents for filing.

How to serve and file appeal documents

For information about filing an appeal, or if you cannot pay the fine, please see the Guide to Appeals in Provincial Offences on the Ontario Court of Justice website or contact the Norfolk County – Simcoe POA Office.
