Peter Thompson planned to sue after being harassed for 18 months over an unpaid parking ticket. But then he came up with a better idea.

Thompson, a Barrie lawyer, gave Canadian Bonded Credits Ltd., a collection agency, and Imperial Parking (Impark) the option of donating $1,000 each to the SuperWalk for Parkinson’s on Sunday.

And they agreed.

It’s a solution that has a certain justice to it: Parkinson’s disease is what got Thompson the parking ticket in the first place.

On March 23, 2003, Thompson made what should have been a half-hour visit to Toronto Western Hospital. To be safe, he paid for 90 minutes of parking. But the doctor was late and when he arrived, he diagnosed Thompson with Parkinson’s.

As a result, Thompson was 31 minutes late returning to his car and was greeted by a $69.55 ticket on his windshield.
