Was given a ticket Oct 5 2015 and I wanted to fight it. Went to court house in February for Early Resolution and only spoke two words in front of the judge: Not guilty. Was given a green carbon copy with ticked off "Meeting occurred, but no resolution. Trial Date to be set". Have received nothing since then. Is this the usual length of time to wait for a trial date for a traffic ticket?

And a follow-up question: how can I see the 'evidence' against me? Who do I ask to see the case against me? There are initials of a prosecutor on the carbon copy but no name or contact info. Thanks in advance.

You should make sure you haven't already been convicted before you worry about anything else. Call the court house and find out your status. You do not want to be sitting on a conviction with an unpaid fine.

Thanks for the quick reply, Mod. And the advice. It's Sunday so before calling on Monday, I looked around the City of Toronto site and found my Court Case Summary. Did not even realize this information was online. This appears to show that the charge was withdrawn, although I have not received any mail or phone call about it. As I said before, all I have is a green carbon copy stating 'Trial Date to be set'. I'll still call on Monday to confirm but this looks like very good news and I might have been worrying about it needlessly for months. :lol:

Sounds like good news for you! Call tomorrow and confirm it was withdrawn though just to make sure. You dont need to give them any details, other than just ask them to confirm the status. Then the next time you are near an MTO office, you might want to go in and confirm there is nothing on your record regarding this incident.

For future reference, usually you would have a trial date set in at most 6 months. Once you receive the Notice of Trial, you would then send a letter to the prosecutor asking for disclosure (officers notes, manuals, witness statements, etc.).

I was driving on Eglinton W and turn right on Strathearn (near Eglinton/Allen Road). There was a no right turn (from 3pm to 7pm) sign which I didn't see.
The cop was waiting there, apparently nobody sees the signs but they are there.
I don't believe I have much to do here but, trying to find…
I know this technically doesn't fit on this board (3 demerit points) as it seems that 15km/h over just means a 50 dollar fine, I would like some advise though, I'm not sure how I should proceed.
The incident happened in Feb, driving south on highway 400 near Barrie. I was in the fast lane, doing…
Quick question about debris (broken taillights ect) from an accident and responsibility.
If someone hit something that broke off (not cargo), but 30 minutes after the original accident and other cars managed to avoid everything. The debris was avoidable who is responsible for damage to that car.
Need some advice on reaching a plea deal with the prosecutor and how to go about talking to the crown. I'm not here to be lectured ect. I'm aware I made a mistake, and need advice on fixing it. So kindly keep comments about my impulsive decision to yourself.
First post..... My fiancee this week was in an accident and she was handed a 3 demerit point 154 (1) (a) charge for 115 dollars or something and 3 demerit points.
Demerit points do not matter to insurance companies, convictions do ... is there a chance that she could go to court and the…

Got stopped for what I thought was going to be speeding, officer apparently had other ideas which needless to say surprised the heck out of me since Im positive I was not going over 150.

I just received my first stop sign ticket in Markham. Has anyone successfully defended a stop sign ticket? If so, what strategies did you use? The officer that pulled me over said I slowed down but didn't stop. I felt that I stopped momentarily. I have no previous moving violations or…
