Re: Ran a red light and caused an accident

Hello, I cannot offer an experienced answer to your question; sorry. But I wanted to respond none the less. We call them "accidents" not "on purposes" for a reason. This was a sentement shared with me when I backed into a car that I inexplicably managed to never see before I hear...

Difference between a Crown Attorney and a Prosecutor

Hello,

I am interested in knowing if there is a distinction/difference between the roles of a Crown Attorney and a Prosecutor as it relates to court procedure?

Just figured someone here may know. I appreciate the insight. Thanks!

Re: First Accident - Careless Driving Charge

Hello. I would not plea guilty to the ticket and mail them a cheque at this point. I agree that your chances of having the ticket reduced is very high. This can be done at an early resolution meeting or on the date of a trial, before the trial begins. I recently attended a few days in provincial cou...

Re: Observations from Early Resolution

Follow up: Trial date was set for end of June, and then a motion to adjourn was submitted as the other driver was unwilling to attend on the trial date. Rather than face additional delays, attended court on the morning the motion was to be heard, and plea bargained with prosecutor. Agreed on a 2 poi...

Re: Notified of motion to adjourn

The representative we hired did not have your knowledge/expertise/willingness to fight, and I can honestly say it is in short supply. Today's motion to adjourn turned into a plea bargaining session, as my daughter did not want to have this matter carry on any longer. The prosecutor looked over every...

Re: Officer never asked to see driver's license

Thank you Highwaystar. I asked the person representing the defendant in the proceeding the same question and was told that it really would not be an issue. A plea deal was agreed upon in the end, as trial would have meant waiting longer, and that was not well tolerated by the defendant. I have learn...

Officer never asked to see driver's license

Good day,

If a ticket is issued to an Ontario driver, and the officer who issues the ticket never asked to see the driver's license of the accused, would it matter in court when defending against the ticket? Please assume the officer obtain the driver license # through other means.

Re: Notified of motion to adjourn

Good Evening, Met with a new representative. He is advising that it would be bad form/improper to seek to contest the adjournment as the crown has done everything proper to request the adjournment, and since the victim has asked for a reschedule it will most certainly be granted regardless of their ...

Re: What is correct charge: Crashing into parked car?

Hello. I agree carless would be harsh; not that it matters though as people are charged with it all the time for small transgressions such as this. If the other driver is accepting responsibility, and perhaps offering to fix the damage, is a charge even necessary? I don't think every collision shoul...

Re: Notified of motion to adjourn

Argh, figures! Darling daughter has a final exam at the same time the adjournment motion is scheduled for, she will not be able to attend. Not sure if I will be able to find new representation before, they really didn't give much time for this. Can I go, as her parent? Do I need a letter from her? T...
