Today i had my Appeal in Court of Justice and my appeal was rejected in a very strange maner. All the pleadings were in my favour and the judge agreed with almost all i had. The prosecution barely had anything to say. I submited my cost recovery request and the judge accepted it saying he need more time to write the decision. Two weeks later-the big surprise for everyone. First the prosecution started negotiating the cost amount i requested and the judge quckly stopped him . Then in just a minute the judge said the appeal is rejected and the case is over. All in one sentence. The decision was handed to me and the prosecution. It was quite a shock for me and a big surprise for the prosecution. I am going to the Appeal court now. If Anybody has some experience, please? A funny example is the reason for judjement " although there is no speed limit sign maybe a speed limit sign is posted somewhere before that , so it is a fact the speed limit is posted"also "..the two signs have to be no more than 900m apart" -what to do when there is no signs at all??? No police or prosecution submited evidence of the existence of any sign in the area. I did submit photos showing there is no sign posted , but i didn't know that imaginery sign in the judge fantasy is an evidence.

It's difficult to weigh in on your options/chances of appeal without seeing the full judgement. The sections you've quoted don't really give much sense out of context, nor do they clarify if the Court feels that particular evidence is relevant to the outcome.

It is too long to list the full judgement here. The main point is the officer testified that a speed limit sign is posted and confirmed it 3 times. I did proof with photos and a document from the city that the sign has never been posted there. Also the officer refused to tell me where he measured my speed. He just said down the road. So he handed me the ticket but i don't know the location . This is critical because in that stretch of the road we have 3 different speed limits posted, so i don't know in which one i was clocked. I got all the information just after i received the disclosure 5 months later. So i took photos but now they are not considered as evidence being taken too late. This is another reason for appeal-breach of the Charter rights to be informed about the offense without unreasonable delay. The officer cut my way to build a defense with not disclosing the location.

pulled over leaving a survey in guelph. After arguing with the officer for about 10 minutes, he mentioned something being wrong with my truck. Told me to put on my emergency brake, and i did. Told me to put it in gear, and i did, truck did not move. Told me to hit the gas, and i did and the truck…
Got two very heavy tickets -- for failing to stop for a school bus, and for using a handheld device. Was running late in a morning rush traffic in Toronto and apparently passed a school bus on the opposite side w/o noticing its signal. A few meters after that I stopped behind the other cars waiting…
I recently received a ticket for proceeding contrary to sign at an intersection. While there are other issues with the offence (sign is not visible until 10ft from intersection, officer wrote wrong license plate number on ticket) my biggest question is about the sign itself.
I posted here a *while* back when I first got my speeding ticket, and I've been fighting it forever. Anyway, long story short - I went and had an appeal and both the prosecutor and the Judge agree that I have valid grounds to appeal on, but what we're arguing is whether the correct remedy is a…
My wife had an auto accident back in May. It is gradually being dealt with by our insurance company ( by the broker actually). My question is about the legal power of the insurance code OAP1. Evidently this set of rules is the Ten Commandments for the insurance companies and the adjustors seem to…
What is the requirement for stopping when a school bus is traveling down the roadway, initiates the flashing red lights while still moving but has not yet stopped? If a motorist is traveling through an intersection (through the free-flow approach, minor-street stop controlled) and an oncoming…
In 2005, the government passed legislation that enabled the introduction of variable speed limits at some point in the future. It didn't take effect right away, so it sat waiting for "proclamation by the Lieutenant Governor." Just by chance... I was reading the HTA earlier while browsing this…
I was on my way to work on a divided four lane highway. I was in the right hand lane following the flow of traffic. There was a slower car ahead of me and I wanted to change lanes and maintain my speed. When I looked in my left side mirror, I notice a red car going pretty fast in the passing…
So i got charged with Hand Held Device, just want to ask everyone if i could use this as my defence
It was midnight, I was dropping my fiance to pick up something on north bound Yonge st (near church) with my emergency lights on, Officer came and asked me to move along so i went up a few streets and…
