Hi all, I first want to thank the experts and contributors in this forum for all the information, advice and assistance you provide for people lwho do not know how to defend themselves. I am in search of help and advice on this particular situation. The notice of trial was issued approximately 14 weeks from the trial date for the offence of proceed contrary to sign at intersection contrary to HTA 144(9), however it was postmarked 7 weeks from the scheduled trial date. The notice was delivered and received 6 weeks before the scheduled trial date. The first request for disclosure was sent 1 week after, that is, 5 weeks before the scheduled trial date, thru registered express mail. As the disclosure is required urgently now to prepare for trial, I will submit reminder notices and check for availability in person. The concern is that the crown may not be able to provide the full disclosure before the trial date and this may lead to an adjournment. As the offence date is 8 months from the trial date, is there cause and case law to apply for a stay? Is it better approach or not to apply for a stay before the deadline ?

You are doing everything you can and in the right sequence. As far as "As the offence date is 8 months from the trial date, is there cause and case law to apply for a stay?" it's usually at least a year delay, if not longer, that the courts consider a 11b arguement.

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…
