Hi everyone,

I recently came across an AGCO monetary penalty issued to a business in Ontario, and I’m trying to fully understand how these penalties work. How is the amount determined, and what factors influence whether it’s a minor fine or something more severe?

Are there any options for appealing or reducing the penalty? Also, do repeated infractions lead to exponentially higher fines, or is each case treated independently? I’d appreciate any detailed explanations, personal experiences, or links to official AGCO resources that explain the process clearly.

Thanks in advance for your insights!

AGCO monetary penalties are set based on the severity of the violation, whether it’s a first-time or repeat offense, and the risk or harm caused. Minor infractions get smaller fines, while serious breaches, like serving alcohol to minors, carry larger amounts. Find out more about how penalties work and the review process. You can appeal penalties through AGCO’s review process, and fines may be reduced if there are mitigating factors. Repeat offenses typically lead to higher fines, though each case is assessed individually.
