Ontario Highway Traffic Act

The summons has to be served in person, so they can't just mail it. I believe they could get a member of the Caledon OPP to serve it for them though.

The Crown is short hand for Crown Attorney. The Crown Attorney is the lawyer representing the city/county government in its case against you. You should be able to talk to them at your summons hearing. If that doesn't work, get their office phone number at the court house and call for an appointment. If you want time to think things over and ...

Where was this warning issued? I've never heard of a warning that came with any kind of fee attached to it. Could you scan it and post it here with your name and other info blacked out so that we can tell for sure what kind of document your were handed? If it is just a warning then there is no way to contest it, but it will not show up on your ...

For those in the know, I am wondering why the electronic copy of the insurance card that the OP presented to the officer was considered inadequate? Is there a regulation somewhere that says insurance cards can't be sent electronically and then printed at home?

I only skimmed the document so I might have missed it, but I didn't see any mention of an appeals process and I didn't see the option for an in person hearing. I think both those things are necessary to ensure fairness. The AMP systems that are already being used for parking and some by-law infractions have these options in place. I could envision ...

I think the odds of getting a stay under those circumstances are pretty low. Most likely what would happen is that the prosecution would give you disclosure on your court date. The court would then grant you an adjournment to a new date so that you'd have time to review the disclosure.

-I would wait until you know your trial date. You will be given your trial date at your hearing on the 5th, so you can submit your disclosure request while you are at the court house that day if you like.
-The officer doesn't have to be in court for your appearance on the 5th but he will have to attend your trial in order to testify.
-You might be ...

I was under the impression that a summons had to be served by hand. In fact section 26 (2) of the Provincial Offences Act says: "A summons shall be served by a provincial offences officer by delivering it personally to the person to whom it is directed or if that person cannot conveniently be found, by leaving it for the person at the persons last ...

The OP hasn't logged in since May of last year, I doubt he's checking this thread anymore.

Quite a few of the posters here have won fatal error cases on appeal. If you search force fatal error or London v Young using this site's search function you will find many threads on the subject. I have added links to a few of the more informative ones but there are more if you search. Also the city should refund the fine money you paid if you win ...

Reducing a speeding ticket to a parking ticket is something that is commonly done in New York state, so some people read about it online and think that you can do the same thing in Ontario. However, as others have said, the prosecutors in Ontario won't do that. In Ontario any reduced charge you get has to be somehow related to the offence you ...

It looks like the police officer did not file your ticket with the court within the required 7 days, the police must file all tickets with the court no more then 7 days after they are issued. This means that the ticket you have now is void and you don't have to do anything more with it. However, the officer can refile the charges and issue you with ...

If you are for sure going the fatal error route then you should just ignore the ticket.

If it is an electronic ticket it will be computer generated and all the writing on it will be printed by a computer printer. If it was filled in by hand then it is not an electronic ticket.

What exactly was your son charged with and what was the law and section number? The reason I ask is because all the jaywalking type offences in the Highway Traffic Act carry a set fine of $35.
