20+ Year Old Ticket Challenge

Cleveland has pursued parking tickets 20+ years old, which has been challenged as violating agreements and due process. Very old tickets may be challengeable.

Legal basis

Due process; Laches defense; AG office agreement

Sample appeal wording

I am contesting the collection of Citation #[TICKET#] issued approximately [NUMBER] years ago. The pursuit of this citation after such extraordinary delay violates due process and the doctrine of laches. I have been prejudiced by this delay because [witnesses unavailable / records lost / memory faded]. I request dismissal based on this unreasonable delay.

Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
