2012 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 7 - Management of Fixed Charge Notice System
12:10 pm
Mr. Martin Callinan:
Again, it is at the discretion of the judge. It is the case that some of the elements of the petition that a superintendent or an inspector acting for the superintendent would have to consider might be arguments that would be presented to a particular District Court judge in a courtroom and he or she may decide to use the Probation Act or a contribution to the poor box or have it struck out. There is a suite of options open to the District Court judge.
