Filing an Objection to a Penalty Notice

Questioner

On December 4, 2015, I received a notice of a (penal) order. Last week I received a summons. After inquiring at the Public Prosecutor's Office I was told that a mistake had been made. I would still receive a criminal detention order via the CJIB. I have now received it. 6 months and 2 weeks after my arrest. I now have 2 weeks to file an appeal. Is this reasonable? Is this a case of exceeding a reasonable period?

Lawyer

I would advise you to file an objection to the penalty notice. Filing an objection to a penalty notice has the advantage that the judge will look at your case. This can have a great influence on the punishment, which often results in a lower final fine. In addition, there is also a chance that you will be acquitted, depending on the facts. My office can file an objection to the penalty notice for you. After this, you will also immediately receive the file of your case.
