A petition to set aside a determination of automated traffic law violation liability may be filed by a person owing an unpaid fine or penalty. The petition shall be filed with the Traffic Compliance Administrator within fourteen (14) days of the date of mailing of the notice of default determination of liability. The grounds for the petition are limited to: (1) the person not having been the owner or lessee of the cited vehicle on the date the violation notice was issued, (2) the person having already paid the fine or penalty for the violation in question, and (3) excusable failure to appear at or request a new date for a hearing. Upon receipt of a timely petition to set aside the determination of liability, the Hearing Officer shall review the petition to determine if just cause has been shown to set aside the determination. If the Hearing Officer determines that just cause exists to set aside the determination, the Village shall provide the petitioner with a new hearing date for a hearing on the merits for that violation. The Village shall notify the petitioner of the Hearing Officer's decision to grant a hearing or deny the petition within fourteen (14) business days of the Village's receipt of the petition.
