485. (Replaced).
1981, c. 7, s. 485; 1986, c. 95, s. 59; 1986, c. 91, s. 674.
485. If the fine is not paid within the time prescribed in section 484, a summons is served on the contravener, who may plead guilty at any time before appearance by paying to the clerk of the court before which he was summoned to appear, the amount of the fine and the amount of the costs fixed by regulation of the Government.
If, on the day fixed for appearance, no payment has been received, the judge or the clerk authorized by order of the Minister of Justice may, if the contravener pleads guilty, convict him of the infraction described in the infraction ticket or the summons.
If, on the day fixed for appearance, no payment has been received and the contravener fails to appear, the judge or the clerk may proceed by default and convict him after he has ascertained that the summons was duly served and the infraction ticket was duly completed and signed, in which case the infraction ticket is proof of its contents.
The clerk may refer to the judge any matter submitted to him, if he considers that the interests of justice require it.
