Montréal’s municipal court handles traffic- and parking-related statements of offence. This court has jurisdiction over the entire island of Montréal for civil, criminal and penal matters.

Security screening

A security check is now in place at the main municipal courthouse. Please arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled hearing time.
