Got long-window with my original question and posted it in the wrong forum, so here goes again: If you file for disclosure, asking for everything relevant (like on the ticketcombat form), and receive disclosure, can the prosecution use anything against you in trial that has not been disclosed? If I've asked for everything relevant, and they've sent me a disclosure package, then haven't they basically said that the extent of what is relevant to my trial that they have is photocopied into that package, and no other evidence exists? If they've failed to disclose a copy of that certified form saying that I own the vehicle given the licence plate number (this is for a parking ticket where the ticket was placed on the windshield) then can they produce that form at trial?

They can enter into evidence anything that they want, but the stuff that they need to give to you is enough to "make a full answer and defence" to the charge. So yes and no. They could enter minor, irrelevant stuff without disclosing it, but any relevant, important stuff must be disclosed to you.

That's pretty much what I gathered from searching. But, if they don't disclose something major, what do I do? Say right then and there that this was never disclosed, or would have I have to get convicted then appeal and then point out I couldn't make a full answer because such and such was not disclosed.

Say it right there and then. Get it recorded so that it is in the transcript, and the failure to disclose the critical evidence now being presented prejudiced your decision and the approach to the trial. Then ask for it to be excluded.

Got two very heavy tickets -- for failing to stop for a school bus, and for using a handheld device. Was running late in a morning rush traffic in Toronto and apparently passed a school bus on the opposite side w/o noticing its signal. A few meters after that I stopped behind the other cars waiting…
I recently received a ticket for proceeding contrary to sign at an intersection. While there are other issues with the offence (sign is not visible until 10ft from intersection, officer wrote wrong license plate number on ticket) my biggest question is about the sign itself.
I posted here a *while* back when I first got my speeding ticket, and I've been fighting it forever. Anyway, long story short - I went and had an appeal and both the prosecutor and the Judge agree that I have valid grounds to appeal on, but what we're arguing is whether the correct remedy is a…
My wife had an auto accident back in May. It is gradually being dealt with by our insurance company ( by the broker actually). My question is about the legal power of the insurance code OAP1. Evidently this set of rules is the Ten Commandments for the insurance companies and the adjustors seem to…
What is the requirement for stopping when a school bus is traveling down the roadway, initiates the flashing red lights while still moving but has not yet stopped? If a motorist is traveling through an intersection (through the free-flow approach, minor-street stop controlled) and an oncoming…
In 2005, the government passed legislation that enabled the introduction of variable speed limits at some point in the future. It didn't take effect right away, so it sat waiting for "proclamation by the Lieutenant Governor." Just by chance... I was reading the HTA earlier while browsing this…
I was on my way to work on a divided four lane highway. I was in the right hand lane following the flow of traffic. There was a slower car ahead of me and I wanted to change lanes and maintain my speed. When I looked in my left side mirror, I notice a red car going pretty fast in the passing…
So i got charged with Hand Held Device, just want to ask everyone if i could use this as my defence
It was midnight, I was dropping my fiance to pick up something on north bound Yonge st (near church) with my emergency lights on, Officer came and asked me to move along so i went up a few streets and…
