I scheduled my Early Resolution meeting at Toronto West and I anticipate requesting disclosure if I can't resolve my issue. I read about disclosure on: http://www.ticketcombat.com/step4/disclosurehow.php "For safety, if you fax your disclosure request, you should keep a copy of the fax confirmation page or better still, deliver it in person and swear an affidavit that you delivered it. This does not cost anything and can be completed by a commissioner of oaths at the court house." Questions: How do I obtain this affidavit? Does this happen when I submit my disclosure request in person? How do I prove that I submitted my request in person to Toronto West? Will I receive a receipt? I'm sorry for all the silly questions. :roll: I see many mentions of affidavits on this forum, but I couldn't find a post explaining how to swear an affidavit? Thank you in advance!

Questions:
How do I obtain this affidavit? Does this happen when I submit my disclosure request in person? How do I prove that I submitted my request in person to Toronto West? Will I receive a receipt?
I'm sorry for all the silly questions.

An affidavit doesn't really offer anything beyond what proof you can provide with a fax confirmation receipt. If they're not going to believe you sent in your disclosure request when you produce a fax confirmation receipt, they're not going to believe you just because you swore an affidavit about it.

I'm sorry, I didn't explain correctly. What if I submit the disclosure request in person? In that case, I wouldn't have a fax confirmation receipt. How would I prove that I submitted the request? Would this be via affidavit? If so, how do I do this?

Thank you. I would like to learn more about affidavit evidence. How do I go about obtaining affidavit evidence? I did this several times lately. It really means squat. But it is a history that you swore to the facts. I did that at city hall here and they charged 28$ For another reason I went to service Canada and it was free (the affidavit) Cheers Viper1

Yes, typically this would be by affidavit evidence. It could also be by oral testimony.

An affidavit is just your statement as to what you claim happened, notarized (and dated) by a notary public. The benefits of an affidavit are 2 fold: 1) since they are dated, they prevent the argument that you just made your statement up recently and 2) they are under oath, so they're supposed to bind your conscience and prevent you from lying. The second one is a bit of a legal fiction, since most liars will lie under oath the same as if they weren't under oath, but our legal tradition still places a great deal of weight on the oath.

Thank you Viper and Simon. I will think about obtaining an affidavit. Of course, I would like to get one for free. Is the best place to get one at Service Canada? I checked the website and I couldn't find anything about obtaining an affidavit... :(

Is there some reason you are against just faxing it? You can go to Staples, Kinkos, and usually any place that copies or prints if you don't have access to a machine.

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…
