So despite my best efforts, I lost my trial in September. I immediately paid my fine and requested transcripts and filed my appeal. The transcripts were picked up and served in early November, around the 10th. I have not heard anything about this since then. Is this normal? They had no issues getting a hold of me for my disclosure or transcript notice so I imagine I would have received notice of my appeal date by now. Should I try to follow up or leave it be? Is it possible that they just want to drop the case based on my notice of appeal and transcripts? Also the traffic stop happened in Jan 2014 so despite a relatively speedy trial, this appeal has now brought the situation to almost 14 months with no resolution. So maybe I can look into a 11b?

Call the court office where you filed the appeal to find out what's going on. It may be that a notice was sent in error to you. You need to clarify that with the court; not the prosecution's office. Secondly, forget about doing an 11b on an appeal. The court guidelines that apply for trials are not applicable to appeals.

Thanks. Guess it's semi-normal for it to take a while. The justice sided with the testimony of the police officer despite what I felt were mistakes in his testimony and idea of events.

If your ticket was originally in Toronto, you can check the status of your case on the Toronto Court Case Look Up system Up system. I checked my most recent extension for payment and it updated same day.

Well I got my appeal date and it's coming up soon. I haven't hired representation so hopefully I can present my case effectively. Hopefully I can find some sample HTA appeals to read through so I know what to expect.

Posted transcript of original trial and the appeal we presented here: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic7286.html It's for speeding but gives you something to work off.
Posted transcript of original trial and the appeal we presented here:
so this may be a dumb question but my transcript from my day of court doesn't contain mine or the prosecutions submissions. All it says is: "The Court: You can have a spot back over here again." "... Submissions by Mr. Me" "... Submissions by Mr. Prosecutor" then Reasons For Judgement.... Does that seem odd? can't i use the submissions portion for appeal?

Hmm that's a good point. But I wonder if that part of the transcript is available anywhere as I imagine they'd have included it. It probably can't be used to get me off huh, since I did my part in paying for the transcript? They're theoretically screwing me by not having that part of the transcript...

You could ask for the appeal to be re-scheduled as you just noticed the error.

Well there might be something important in that section, but without it you have no idea. The trials are audio recorded so it should all be there. You will have to contact the court recorder who did the transcript for you and ask them why it was not included.

Had my appeal today, and i've been awarded a retrial. Didn't even mention the submissions part, wasn't needed. Hopefully this time I will do better to discredit the officer (or the justice will be more fair...). Unless now I can go for 11b haha.

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
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…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
