Ontario Highway Traffic Act

It was a POA appeal, which is heard by a judge of the Ontario Court of Justice (Justice Libman in this case). As an appellate decision, it is should be binding on JPs who operate in traffic court.

Any ticket can affect your insurance but non-moving violations often less so.

Get disclosure, have resolution meeting, have trial (or plea).

But it's only the local police who have that information. It doesn't go on the province wide system (PARIS) for tracking plates and DLs.

Re #2: painted lines (solid or broken) are advisory only and have no legal effect.

The date of deemed service is just the date by which you are deemed to have been served notice that you are charged with the offence. You still have time beyond that to respond to the ticket by (1) pleading guilty, (2) pleading guilty with an explanation, or (3) setting a trial.

If you want to speak with the prosecutor about a possible joint ...

The charge of No Currently Validated Permit is correct in situations like this because Regulation 628 s. 6 says: "A permit for a motor vehicle shall be validated by means of evidence of validation provided by the Ministry and affixed in the appropriate space provided on the permit "

That being said, it's a pretty cheesy violation and I think most ...

The obvious choice, to me, which appears to be supported by the facts is Lane Change Not in Safety.

19 months delay is likely grounds for an 11(b) if the delay is attributable to the crown or institutional. Procedure for ordering transcripts varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. You'll have to contact them for more info.

You do both. Usually you file the 11(b) and it is scheduled to be heard the day of trial. So if you're unsuccessful with that, the trial proceeds as normal. If they can't fit it in on the day of, they will schedule it for an earlier date to be heard separately. Again, if you lose then, trial proceeds as normal.

That's probably some branch of MTO. I don't think it's they city's responsibility to erect signs related to the Highway Traffic Act.

What is the section number for the 2nd offence you are charged with (the non-speeding one)?

The officer doesn't have the authority to bind the prosecutor to a deal (namely dropping the permit charge if you show up with them) so don't quote him on that. I think he's indicating that, usually, the prosecutor will drop such an offence if you do bring your docs in, especially if you're pleading to another offence. However the fact that the ...

Probably not. I've rarely heard of JP's making an issue out of no cross street. But I think it would be even less of an issue with yours, since the specific offence isn't even failing to stop at a particular stop sign at a particular street.
