Ontario Highway Traffic Act

R. v. Jordan also applies to cases that were already in the system at the time of the decision. So, in order to succeed with a section 11(b) Charter argument for unreasonable delay, the period of time between being charged and the end of trial has to reach the presumptive ceiling of 18 months UNLESS you can argue otherwise:

"If the total delay ...

Be careful that Option 2 on the ticket is indeed early resolution meeting with prosecutor. In some jurisdictions, Option 2 is Walk In Guilty or Make Submissions to Penalty, which means you stand before a Justice of the Peace and plead guilty, and tell the Justice how much time you need to pay or how much you are able to pay. The Justice may not ...

Fail to remain at the scene of an accident is a serious offence which carries 7 demerit points, and a fine between $400 and $2000, or a jail term of up to 6 months. Considering the seriousness of the offence, it would probably be a good idea to contact a paralegal or lawyer.

I can't see Mississauga winning. If the Court rules that Jordan only applies to criminal matters, the City would still lose on the Askov/Morin test. If the Court rules Jordan does apply, the City loses on the Jordan test. The risk the City takes is that the Court of Appeal could rule that Provincial Offences are less complicated than criminal ...

Have you tried making additional disclosure requests and/or following up with the prosecutor's office to see if your disclosure is ready?

If you do not get disclosure, you can file a notice of constitutional question using section 7 of the Charter, as jsherk said above. The Justice may give you an adjournment so that the prosecutor can provide you ...

As OTD Legal noted, in the disclosure document, the police officer said:
"I asked the driver how fast he had been travelling and he said between 80-90 km/hr in a posted 60 km/hr zone. I asked why he was driving in a reckles[s] fashion and he said they were having a little party and he needed to get some stuff from the store. I asked at the jeopardy ...

While it is true that these decisions are not necessarily binding, it will take awhile for a provincial offences trial (with R. v. Jordan applied) to reach a higher court (i.e. Court of Appeal of Ontario) because R. v. Jordan is a relatively new decision.

And typically, prosecutors and defendants would rather not use their time and resources on an ...

As I mentioned in another post, I was in court recently and overheard that prosecutors in provincial courts (municipal or otherwise) have received notice of the R. v. Jordan case and are currently applying it to cases before the courts relating to provincial offences as well, and I have seen that first hand for parking infractions when I've been in ...

You can try to make a section 11(b) Charter argument, but it has been more difficult to do so unless your case has reached the new presumptive ceiling guideline of 18 months set in the Supreme Court decision R. v. Jordan in order to be considered an "unreasonable" delay.

* Pedestrians are wearing dark/black clothing
* Ped's are just crossing assuming drivers can/or are going to stop
* Peds put there heads down or use iphones


Yes, I realized that too. It's very hard for drivers to see pedestrians at night, even when drivers are paying full attention.

It may seem a little bit of an overkill - but when I'm ...

I don't know about other jurisdictions. But in York Region, police officers actually have a quota - they're asked to issue one traffic ticket per shift. I thought quotas were just an urban myth.

This is very bizarre. I think it would be worth noting when you bring this to court that you cannot go straight through Eglinton Ave, and once you approach that intersection, you cannot turn right or left, as jsherk noted above.

In terms of your defence, I would only refer to Regulation 615: Signs, since that's the law. I don't think it ...

Any thoughts?

I know that Ontario has similar provisions for 'insecure load' in s. 111(2) of the Highway Traffic Act and a $130 fine:
"No person shall operate or permit to be operated upon a highway a motor vehicle that carries a load or draws a vehicle that carries a load ...

I'm thinking that the ticket that you got may have been someone else's ticket, and someone else may have your ticket.

The fact that the ticket that you got has no driver's license on it and it has nothing to personally identify you, this means that there will be no consequences against you for this ticket. So simply do not dispute the ticket or ...

Can you post a photo of your ticket? I'm interested to see a ticket with so many errors on it!
