Speeding Ticket - Was convicted - Never got notice of trial

Unread post by Nowisthetime »

I got a speeding ticket 74km in a 50km zone last Feb 2012 in Milton. I immediately filed for trial. I never received a notice of trial. In September I was wondering why I hadn't received anything yet. I then got a letter from ministry of transportation saying I had 6 points now in total and it was a warning letter. It showed that I had been convicted for this last speeding ticket and they showed the trial date which had just passed. I ended up going to the court and requesting that they cancel the conviction because I never was informed. I found out that they sent it to my street but to 79 instead of 78 which is my house. I asked who was at fault. It was clear that my ticket showed the correct address, so the clerk who entered the information made a mistake. The JP accepted my request and cancelled the conviction and reopened the case. Near end of November I received the notice of trial which is set for March 12, 2013. This would be 13 months after my original ticket. On Jan 1st, 2013 I submitted a fax request for disclosure 9 days ago. Since this was a mistake of the court and I'm now 13 months after the ticket, any ideas as to the best way to win this case. Procedure? Thank you.
