Ticketing is the typical path for resolving by-law offences. An enforcement officer issues a ticket on the spot, outlining the fine and how to respond—pay it or dispute it later. This streamlined process lets minor municipal violations be settled without a formal criminal court trial. In contrast, a criminal court trial or summary conviction are procedures for criminal offences, not the usual route for by-law offences. Administrative fines can exist in some systems, but the standard method described here is the ticketing process.
