Question regarding filing a motion, most likely 11b
OK, so here I am, going to file a motion 11b and section 7 of Charter of Rights.
The question that I have is "can one file a motion in a different court from the one he has his trial at?"
I was able to file my ticket at the Markham Rd. court house and request a trial, but my trial is at Queen St. W, now that I want to file a motion, can I go to Markham Rd and file my motion there?
I hope one you lawyers/paralegals can answer this for me...
Thank you in advance

I believe you have to serve the Court and Prosecutors where the trial will be held.
If you read our quick guide above, please note that the sequence for the Toronto Downtown court is a bit different, because it involves extra steps.

So, it turns out you are absolutely right...
My wife called the court this morning and she was told you have to do it at the location where your trial is set to take place.
And, as my luck would have it (because I'm such a lucky guy, sarcasm) I have to go to the old city hall, which it turns out is the nastiest place to file a motion...
Wonderful, it never ceases to amaze me how well the system is designed to make life miserable for their citizens and difficult to fight a ticket, does any one remember the good old days? You were able to ask for a trial by simply mailing in your ticket, not only that, you had the option of asking for night court so that you would not have to take time off work to attend your trial. Then later on due to the fact that everyone was asking for night court they took that option away to ease the load on the courts, and now...
Well, we all know what is going on now...
Sorry about the rant... Just had to get it out of my system... If only I would have won the lottery so I could hire an attorney to the all the leg work for me, LOL

Done.
Court date
So, I feel very dumb, go ahead, lay it on me, I deserve it...
When I went to my first trial I got an adjournment since the prosecutor did not provide disclosure.
Well, my memory and my notes are playing tricks on me, I thought the date for the second trial was 14th of Jan, but then I recalled it was another Wednesday so I thought it must have been 19th not the 14th, but my note says 24th which is a Monday.
Now I'm totally you know what...
Is there anyway to contact the court to find out when the new trail date?
Has anyone had this type of a situation?
Cheers
Re: Court date
Yes, just call the courthouse and they should be able to tell you. Or, if you got the ticket in Toronto, call Court Services. Not sure of the exact number, though. But they'll be able to tell you.
Re: Question regarding filing a motion, most likely 11b
I am going there in person on Wednesday to file my motion, I think I'll go there with all 3 dates on hand and find out which one it is, then file the correct one.
I hope the court clerk can look it up and tell me, keeping my fingers crossed.
Thank you Radar Identified...
PS.
Love this site, ton of useful info and I hope to contribute some how...
I followed the procedures mentioned in the previous threads regarding the disclosure and received it today. My court date is November 5 2009 in Whitby. After going through the notes I realized 2 things:
1- the notes are horribly illegible and difficult to read
2- I have notes from two different officers.
Now I am not sure if this means that both the officers will be at court for the hearing or…
I hope I can paint the picture with the accuracy that the truth deserves. I have no intention of just beating a ticket.. but more like beating a really unfair ticket. You decide!
I had entered Canada after a short trip downsouth through Detroit on my way to Toronto. Not being equipped with a GPS unit I had to rely on the printable poorman's version from Mapquest. I followed Huron Church Rd.,…
Hi everyone,
Need an expert advice here. 10 days ago I got a speeding ticket. Ticket has a fatal error on its face-offense not known to law. It says speeding 75km/hr in posted 60km/hr zone. What is the best way to proceed?
1. Should I completely ignore this ticket and let the JP to quash it?
2. Should I go with option 3 - request a trial and force the fatal error by not showing up at court?

My name is Brian. I am in my late 20s and live in Toronto. I do not own a car but half a dozen times a year I rent one with my Visa. (To get out of the city and go to a beach or ski for example.)
I have never drunk and drive but I face a problem and Im wondering if anyone can tell me what to do. Several months ago I was at a weekend party and had quit a bit to consume. When I stopped…
Traffic stop in scarborough, ontario
I was travelling east bound on ellesmere road and approached markham road attempting to make a right turn. All signal lights were red and cars traveling down markham road south were given the green arrow. I slowed down and attempted to make the right turn. I got ticketed by a cop who was parked in a gas station facing the intersection in a (no parking zone). I…
Just got this last night on my way to guelph.
Crested a hill, officer coming at me, pulled a u turn and pulled me over.
I will go back and look again but I thought I was in an 80 not a 70 and I am positive I wasn't doing more than 120. My speedo read 110-115. I have aftermarket tires and rims so I assume this would be the difference.
It was around 7pm, already dark, nobody on the road but myself,…
I am looking for the case law that is commonly used when the prosecution says they only need to disclose the testing pages of a radar manual or laser manual.
I am only interested in the binding decisions (appeals court or higher?), and not in the non-binding Justice of the Peace decisions.
The most recent that I can find is:
Thunder Bay (City) v. Millar, 2009 ONCJ 485 canlii.ca/t/264d2
This case is…
So I was pulled over early in the AM. I was picked off in a line of cars for speeding. Lucky me!
Anyways I got 3 summons for Drive Under Suspension and 1 summons for speeding.
I didn'e have my wallet on me so was unable to present any photo id. Also, the car I was driving was a friend of mine.
The officer has incorrectly misspelled my first and last name. Also my address is wrong, I haven't lived at…
Hello,
I was pulled over two nights ago and charged with failing to stop a stop sign. On the ticket, it says 'disobey stop sign - foil to stop' and does not say 'fail' -- something I think may be a fatal flaw? I have been driving for 12 years with no tickets, yet I live in Brampton where insurance prices are high so I do not want to be convicted as my insurance rates will spike significantly and…
A friend of mine (who is from China and with no knowledge of English at all) asked me to interpret for him on court.
He got pulled over by a stealth patrol car last october, got 3 tickets (fail to show insurance card, using cell phones and fail to stop on right for emergency vehicle) , court date is next week. He told me his insurance expired for less than a month and other charges are false…
I understand the severity of my offences, and I can't stress how much I regret it. I know I endangered the lives of myself and more importantly others. I usually do not speed and I know running late for work is an unacceptable excuse. I will be a man and accept the consequences of my actions although I would appreciate any advice for my situation.
Bottom line, 1 pound of cannabis was found in my…
Guys back in january i got a speeding ticket on dvp, but i am 90% sure he did not caught me on radar, i asked for disclosure request and i just received today, I have asked for: a full copy of the police officers notes, a copy of both sides of the officers copy of the ticket, witness will say statements, speed gun manual, calibration record, repair history and officer's training certificate but…
Good evening everyone,
I need some help here. So today I was on my way to get my tires changed from my winter tires to my regular summer staggered set of tires. I was driving in mississauga on my way to my destination, I got pulled over by an officer where I was given a ticket for having improper mudguards. For some context, I drive a stock 2013 C63 AMG with winter tires at the time. I was never…
Hi,
I'd like to start this off by saying for the last two weeks I have been browsing the forums. I'm trying to prepare myself for an early resolution meeting with a prosecutor (in Brampton, if that matters). I have a clean record and as a teacher, I always do my best to follow rules (trying to practice what I preach!)
On December 4, 2014 I was preparing to turn right at a very busy intersection.…
Hi,
I have question, today I was going to work in my normal route there is a triangle intersection with my side being the only one with a stop sign.
There's a car in front me who stopped at the stop sign, and the third-side there's a incoming car with their hazard-light flashing but they don't have stop sign, yet coming in at a slow speed.
Right after the car in front me went through the stop sign,…
On my way to work this morning I received a ticket for disobey sign. I was on Hwy 10 Mississauga in the right lane. The right lane leads to the 401 and there is a sign saying Right Lane Exits. I Tried to merge left before the on ramp as did 3 other people. We all got a ticket for doing that. Is there anything I can do? I did not realize I was breaking any law it was a dotted line where I tried to…
Hello OHTA Forum,
This is my first post, before I jump right in I would like to thank the forum, members, posters and moderators for all the information posted. I feel like I have been able to learn a lot from others experiences, so thank you all.
This will be a lengthy post. But if you are dealing with a Disobey Sign HTA 182(2) - No Straight Through Intersection you may find this extremely…
Let me start this with saying that this isn't in regards to a ticket, more a discussion surrounding front license plates and learning about the rules behind them. (Most of the quote stuff is using colloquial terms, mostly because I couldn't really find a better way to describe it; it's not meant to be offensive.)
I know Ontario law/HTA mandates having a front license plate unlike some States in…
Hi Guys! I've just had my trial day yesterday. I was not at fault but was convicted anyways.
It is such a travesty! There is no justice at the traffic court. It is just a no mercy machine to part someone with his money, no common sense applies and no reasonable argument being considered. Such a shame! The justice, the policeman and the prosecutor ganged up against me. The justice kept interrupting…
Well first of all ... glad to have found the forum - hoping to find answers to 'alot' of questions
I was unfortunate in July 2010 in that I ended up rolling my 2009 Ranger three times, through a fence and landing on the roof on a rained-out road that was/is in need of proper repair in Eastern Ontario.
I was assisted out of the vehicle by the driver who was behind me.
I was not charged with any…
I have an unusual situation.
I was traveling down the 401, noticed a speed trap, and started flashing my lights -- in order to warn oncoming drivers.
Within a 30 seconds, a car slowed, crossed the grass, and approached me from behind. Lights appeared, and I then realised that this was an officer in an undercover car.
The officer pulled me over, and while he was polite, clearly his motivation was to…
I'm wondering what the rules are for Pedestrians, Roller Bladers and Cyclists at a 4-way stop?
I know it sounds like a simple question. But I'm seeing things that are making me wonder what the exact rules are.
Does anyone know the specific law, statute, Charter right to refer to when a prosecutor or justice attempts to change the charge on a ticket after a trial has begun? I assume I'd object immediately (without interrupting anyone, of course) but what would be the specific legal basis of my objection?
I've seen a few younger riders with those mohawks on their helmets and was wondering if that's in some sort of violation of the HTA.
As for me, it's bad enough that I ride a supersport with blown muffler packing. I don't need any more attention 
I was right behind a school bus that looked like it was pulling over to the side in order to turn down a side street, I saw no lights so decided to go around (wide street). Was still moving as I was passing, then as I did pass I heard horn and looked back and in fact it was pulling over to p/u school kids (was a block away from my son's school, so just assumed it wouldn't be picking up kids...it…
