If you have been issued a Penalty Notice and believe it has been issued in error, you can either pay the fine or dispute it with a Screening Officer. This is the initial step in the MBEA adjudication process.
You must explain your dispute reasons to the Officer via a Screening Officer phone appointment. The Officer can then decide to maintain, reduce, or cancel the penalty.
Review of a ticket by a City of Selkirk Screening Officer is free of charge.
The process for challenging parking tickets is required by the Province through The Municipal By-law Enforcement Act (MBEA) and enacted by The City of Selkirk through The City of Selkirk Administrative Penalties By-Law (5296).
Screening Officer
Fill out the below form to have a Penalty Notice reviewed by the Screening Officer. By submitting the request for a Screening Officer you agree to the following:
- I understand that I have 30 days from being served with a Penalty Notice to request a review by a Screening Officer. Failure to address this matter within 30 days will result in collective action being taken. Requests received after 30 days will not be eligible for review.
- I understand that Screening Officers are the first tier of the adjudication process under the Municipal By-law Enforcement Act (MBEA). If you disagree with the decision made by the Screening Officer you have the option to proceed to a second level of review by a provincially-appointed adjudicator. Request for adjudication is subject to a fee of $25 paid to the municipality by the person requesting adjudication prior to the hearing. The fee will be refunded to the applicant if the adjudication is successful. Municipalities will contact the chief adjudicator to arrange for an adjudication sitting.
- The Screening Officer considers the full penalty amount when reviewing the circumstances surrounding each Penalty Notice. I understand that by proceeding with the Screening Officer request I waive the right to pay the lesser fee if the fine is upheld.
