Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. ex rel. City of Toronto v. Arcos-Nava, 2012 ONCJ 773 (CanLII):
[7] In City of London v. Young, Feldman J.A. for the majority held that for a certificate of offence to be complete and regular on its face, the set fine amount had to be correct. Since the justice of the peace had no power to amend the certificate in a s. 9(1) proceeding, the justice was obliged to quash the certificate.
