The City of St. John's does not have the ability to rescind a ticket. It is a court document and follows a set process for challenging tickets. 

If you believe your vehicle should not have been ticketed, you can challenge your ticket. How to do this is on the back of your ticket.

To challenge the ticket, fill out either option two or option three on the back of the ticket. Option two is to plead not guilty and get a trial date. Option three is to set a plea date (i.e. once in court, plead guilty or not guilty). Whichever option you choose, be sure to fill out all required information or your ticket may not be processed.

Once the back of the ticket is filled out, deliver (in person) or mail the ticket to:
St. John's Provincial Court
Box 68
Atlantic Place
215 Water Street
St. John's, NL
A1C 6C9
 
The court must get the challenge before the default conviction date noted on the bottom of your ticket. The default conviction date is not a trial date.

If the default conviction date has passed and you want to challenge the ticket, contact the General Registry of the Supreme Court at 709-729-1137 for details on the appeal process.

Pleas
If you plead guilty by selecting option one on the back of your ticket, you must pay the associated fine. City Council sets the fine. Neither the Prosecutor nor the Provincial Court can lower the fine.

If you plead not guilty by selecting option two and are convicted at trial, you will be required to pay the fine.

If you select option three, you will either enter a guilty plea or not guilty plea in Court. You will pay the fine if convicted.
 
Disclosure

Disclosure is all relevant evidence (photos, officer notes, documents, etc.) related to your ticket that the Prosecutor will rely on at your trial. If you would like a copy of your disclosure before your trial date fill out the disclosure request form.
 
Trials

You must attend the trial date to contest your ticket. Failure to appear may result in a conviction in your absence. The Court cannot consider a written defence.
