According to the Highway Traffic Act s.128(14) the fine for 16-29 over the limit is $4.50/km. The Ontario Court of Justice Schedule 43, schedule B has the fine set at $3.75/km. Why is there a difference ? If my ticket is issued under the HTA, but my fine is calculated under the Ontario Court of Justice, is this considered an error on the ticket ?

Re: Why 2 Schedules of Fines in Ontario
I'm not sure the reasoning behind the two different fines, but it's not an error. Speeding tickets issued at the roadside always have the lower fine amount. If you're convicted in Court they can ask for the higher fine.

Re: Why 2 Schedules of Fines in Ontario
As I posted in another thread, there's 1 table for calculating fines based on speed for the purpose of the out of court fine on the Part 1 certificate and another for calculating the fine after trial.

If/when do I have to disclose my evidence for a trial?
Lots of good information on getting disclosure from the Crown here.
Now, I am just wondering if I will be relying upon evidence of my own at trial... do I have to voluntarily send this material to the Crown in a reasonable time before the trial, or only if they request disclosure from me?
Thanks!
