A little bit confused on what to do any advice appreciated. I received a speeding ticket back in July for going 60 in a 40 zone, it got reduced to 50 in 40. I requested a trial and received my notice of trial on October 29. The issue date on the notice was October 18 and the trial date was November 26. I went into the prosecutors office asap to request disclosure on October 31. However the time between the issue date and my trial date (not even counting the time it took for Canada Post to deliver the notice) was less than 6 weeks and therefore I was told that my request is considered late. Now I plan to request a stay of proceedings due to this fact, my question is do I need to file a form 4F or any other kind of paperwork to serve to the prosecutor in person or do I just wait until I go to court and orally request a stay. Thanks for the help!

You won't get a stay. You'll simply get an adjournment to another date, either with the disclosure given to you at the appearance or prior to the next court date.

So what happens when I go to court? When i have a meeting with the prosecutor before the trial what do I tell them? Also can I ask the prosecutor if the officer is present before the trial? I don't want to ask for an adjournment if the cop is not there, and will I be able to find out if the cop is there before my trial starts and I am asked how I wish to proceed (can't really remember his face). Sorry for all the questions, first time going to traffic court or any court at all lol.

Just tell them what you indicated in the original post. You don't have disclosure yet.The prosecutor isn't likely to tell you whether the officer is there or not. You need to ask for an adjournment because the only other option will be to proceed with the trial without disclosure.

I got a speeding ticket on the 401 by Cornwall. The officer said I was going 140 initially then dropped it to 130 (for the record I don't believe for a second I was going 140, that's way faster than I would ever intentionally drive). I filled out the info on the back of the notice to request a…
I was recently charged with stunt driving on a 60kmh road. When I was pulled over, the officer told me I was going almost 100kmh (still 40kmh above the limit) but was charging me for stunt driving because I accelerated quickly from an intersection on an empty road (in a straight line). I know…

Are any non-domestic vehicles "pursuit-rated" in North America? Also have the Michigan State Police (this is relevant because apparently they have the most accepted selection/testing process) tested any of them to see if they meet their criteria? Just curious...
Ottawa, Canada (AHN) - Beginning Tuesday, or April Fool's Day 2008, fines on Quebec drivers caught overspeeding will be doubled. It is not only the money penalty that will go up, but also demerit points.
The new law, Bill 42, is similar to Ontario's street racing rule. It stipulates fines for…
A friend got a ticket Jan. 9th of this year for doing 110 kph in a 90 kph zone, so 20 over.
What should the set fine and total payable read?
It's confusing to me, as the prescribed fine under HTA s.128 is different than the set fine enumerated by the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice.
An OPP officer ticketed me claiming I was going 40km/h over the limit (140km/km) on my way home with a few friends on the 401. This is my first ever speeding offense. Although I am sure I was over the limit, I am almost certain that I was not going 40 over, more realistically closer to 30 over. The…
Yesterday night I was charged for stunt driving (excess over 50km/h) and I have a few inquiries. I'm sure you've all heard the same story, but the unmarked cop in an SUV was tailing me for a good 2-3 minutes as I was travelling 120~135 km/h. Then as he came close I decided to boot it up…
I had a speeding ticket in May 2013 which brought me to 9 demerit points out of 15. I received a letter and had to attend an interview. Due to a history of speeding tickets and a previous interview a few years prior, the interviewer decided to put me on zero tolerance for a year. Meaning if I…
