I understand from some research on this forum that the following are considered Fatal Errors: - Defendant name missing - Missing offence or an offence not known to law - Missing date - Missing offence location - Missing officer signature if it is NOT an electronic ticket - Incorrect set fine and/or total payable (one report says this is no longer the case... currently waiting for confirmation of case law or legislative change) I received a speeding ticket and the offence is documented as "Speeding 90 KM/HR in a 100 KM/HR zone". By my math, that's not speeding. However, the road I was travelling on has a posted speed limit of 80 KM/HR. Would this fall under the fatal error category of 'missing offence or an offence not known to law'? Or is this something that could be amended during trial? I appreciate your thoughts/guidance on this matter.

It looks to me like that would constitute a fatal error. Remember if you are going to force a fatal error then you don't want to book a trial, ignore the ticket and it should be quashed when it gets sent to the default docket for review.

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.

I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.
Last night, at 7pm, I was at an intersection waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so that I could turn left. I thought that I was waiting at the intersection behind only one other vehicle (a van)…
So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
Late Saturday afternoon, December 1st, I entered the Shops at Don Mills with my vehicle and drove due East as I needed to make a quick deposit in the TD Bank. I made a left hand turn onto the side street and on the right side where I parked, there is a condo under construction with all the usual…
Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
