Can I appeal the impoundment?

Yes, a vehicle owner/plate holder can appeal an impoundment on the following grounds:
* Vehicle was stolen at the time of the impoundment;
* Driver was not under a Criminal Code suspension;
* Vehicle owner/plate holder exercised all reasonable efforts (i.e. due diligence) to ensure that the driver had a valid driver's license; or
* Loss of the vehicle would result in exceptional hardship.
There is a $100 fee to file an appeal. In the event of a successful appeal, any towing and storage costs will be refunded. The filing fee to the License Appeal Tribunal is non-refundable.
