So I was reading the process/procedure of how to file a motion under charter section 11b or 7 and one of the things is that it must be filed at least 15 days before the trial. It goes on to explain a little further that the first and last day do not count when the words "at least" is used under court procedures. I'm assuming the first day is the day the motion is filled and the last day is the day of trial, if I'm wrong please correct me. The real question I have is, do weekend days count as part of this 15 days? Or is it just weekdays?

I believe that it is NOT business days, and is actual days including weekends in between although it if the trial date is on a Monday for example, then you would need to have it there by the Friday and they would not count that final Saturday or Sunday. So it is sort of business days but with some weekends. But yes you are correct that the day you file does not count and the trial date does not count and if the days. Also note, if you send it registered mail (not recommended), then the count does not start until the day they receive it and not the day you sent it. I highly recommend using FAX to send the notices and motion and then print off a copy of the "FAX SENT OK" report. I would aim to file it by fax 21 to 24 days before the trial date and this would get all the notices where they need to be on time. If you go the registered mail method then you need to be mailing them out at least 30 days before the trial to take into account mailing time.

I'm curious as to why you think some weekends count and some don't? What information leads you to believe this is the case? What ynotp said is rather simple and straight forward, but your explanation makes it rather complicated. I can't see the court procedure having such a complicated formula to simply count the number of days

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
