Mr. XXXX a été informé qu’une citation à comparaître a été délivrée à son encontre pour l'utilisation de son téléphone portable au volant.

If you are reported or arrested and subsequently charged with committing an offence, you will either be issued with a summons to attend court at a later date…

An appearance notice and a summons tell a person they must appear in court to respond to a criminal charge.
