Hello, I plan to request disclosure through registered mail or fax. I've tried requesting in person but got rejected because they told me I did not provide sufficient information on my Disclosure Request letter. My question is, do they really need the officer's name and division when I provided them with the Offence Number, Offence Date, Charge, Court Date, and Location? Also they said they do not mail out disclosure so I need to leave a phone number. Do I need to leave my phone number or can I ask that they contact me through mail/fax? Last question, is it better to fax or send registered mail? or does it not really make a difference? Thanks!
Hi everyone, Sorry for reviving this old thread, but it seems the most relevant to my situation. I am fighting a Careless Driving ticket and have requested disclosure as soon as I got my court date. I used the form on the Ticketcombat website (amazing site with great tips btw!) and faxed it to the Newmarket courthouse at 905-898-5218 with confirmation. Could anyone please confirm that fax number for me? In any case, it's been exactly 3 weeks now and no response. As suggested, I left out my phone number and just included my address on the request. As I have read, many courthouses don't mail out disclourse material. So in this case, how will I know when disclosure is ready for me to be picked up? Do they write me a letter by mail? What if they deny or say that I didn't provide enough information? Do they also ask that by mail as well? Finally, should I make a second request for disclosure by faxing the exact same request as my first one? My court date is September 30, 2010. Thank you for your help.

Your court date is still a ways out, in legal time, so don't sweat too much. If you wish you can always fax another request off, maybe in another week. If you can show the paper trail your good. As long as you have been prudent and reasonable and can show it the JP can do anything from offering a continuance if your disclosure is not ready, or handed to you late, to staying the charge.....

Thanks for the reply Reflections. I haven't had much time anyways to send out another request. I'll get to that some time this week. Should the second request be the same as the first one? I'm planning to say that it's my second request and that if there are any issues with the request, they should contact me by mail at my address. I'm hoping that if they don't provide disclosure, they will stay the charge. If I requested to stay the charge for this reason and it gets denied by the JP, does that mean the trial continues and I can still try to prove my innocence?

I was at my parents' house in Mississauga early this week, and my mother told me about this SUV which always parks down the street for four to six hours a day, headlights on and the occupants inside. When she takes her afternoon walk, she will usually see a man and a woman inside smoking or…
Last week, around 9:30 at the Britannia water purification plant (Ottawa), undercover cops put on their lights. I was outside of my mom's vehicle (van) about to go for a simple #1 in the bushes (even had a bunch of tissues in my hands) when one officer asked me what I was doing (my bf was also…

According to current regulations, no electric car can be driven in Ontario (and anywhere else in Canada except BC). Do you find it somewhat ridiculous that, despite all the fanfare about the environmentally friendliness talk, and high gas prices moans, we cannot use the most…
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…

My question is, I drive a 4x4 truck and my summer tires stick out beyond the fenders about 1.5-2inches. Is that illegal in Ontario? If so will installing fender flares take care of the problem? Also the truck has True dual exhaust (2 pipes from…
Okay so while at school today i parked on a residential street in Hamilton Ontario. the person in front of me did not pull up very far so i was forced to park fairly close to the driveway of the house i was in front of. I got out to make sure they had plenty of room to drive out if they wanted to,…
Just wondering if I can get some help on what to do for this ticket. I have a court date on August 17th. I simply cannot afford this. I haven't had an offence in years, and pay attention to my speeds now. One night when I was too focused on the road and not the speedometer, I get pulled…
I got pulled over for doing 147 in a posted 90 zone on hwy 17 heading east towards Ottawa where I live. My car was impounded for 7 days and the officer took my licence. I'll probably go with one of those traffic ticket places. I don't feel like driving to North Bay 4 or 5 times.
