Yesterday I was driving on a two lane road, with one lane used partly as parking. I was stuck in the parking lane, and I couldn't leave as there was busy traffic all on my left. The roads were slick and icy (-15C weather), and I was gaining on a parked car in front of me. I knew that I had to get…

How to find case law?
Hi
How do you actually go about researching case law? Where do you look?
For example if I want to find cases in Ontario Provincial Offences Court about fatal errors on certificate of offence about whether putting down the HTA section number but no subsection is consdered fatal error or not?
