Thanks.

Why do people say that they end up spending the whole day in court?

Or am I missing something?

Do I need to take the day off?

I hear people spending the whole day in the court room before being called.

But in my notification it says clearly at 2pm.

So can I arrive around 1pm?

Thanks.

The notice of trial arrived by mail last Thursday.

I just faxed the disclosure request.

Thanks guys!!!

I have a few questions though, which I'll be asking in a new topic.

Is this disclosure request form ok?

As for the 4F template, that's when I submit a request for stay of charges (11(b)), at least two weeks before the trial date, right?

Thanks!
As for the disclosure form, looks fine to me. I would just - in addition to your general request ...

You can search or goto a paralegal to draft your File form 4F, "Notice of Constituional Question" I believe it is. Your choice.

Hi Reflections,

I would like to send a letter to the court office saying that I haven't received the notification yet and requesting if they could "speed up" the process.

Would you have a template?

Thanks again.

Thanks a lot!

It's for a "136(1)(a) disobey stop sign" ticket.

I'd like to send a letter to the court office saying that I haven't received a notification yet and requesting a trial date ASAP.

Is there a template somewhere?

I know this is important for the 11(b) argument...

I got this ticket in November of 2009 and requested a trial date.

I haven't receiving any notification yet. It's been almost 10 months.
So today I visited the court office and the lady searched the system.

She says there's a date for the trial, end of December of 2010.
That's going to be 13 months. I didn't sign anything, so officially I think I ...

I got a ticket in November of 2009 and requested a trial.

I haven't received anything yet, that's almot 10 months..

I'm hoping that it will reach the 12 month period for the 11(b) argument.

Should I send them a letter asking why I haven't received anything?

It's been 9 months and still no trial date. No letter received.

Should I ask for disclosure?

Thansk.

What exactly is a "by-law"?

How can it not affect your insurance record?

There's this HOV lane on Don Mills, that begins south of Finch. If a cop tickets me, is that also a by-law infringement?

Interesting...

His point could be that I am clearly trying to delay proceedings, unnecessary costs to the court, etc. etc.

It's been almost 7 months and I haven't heard anything...

So I was going westbound on Lakeshore Blvd, when I reach York St. the light turns yellow and I proceed. It turns red when I am perhaps one meter or so before the white line (below the red light).

However, I noticed that on the left lane a truck was in the middle of the intersection behind me. The red light camera flashed.

Did I trigger the camera ...

"STOP" is the new "SLOW DOWN"

Ticket was issued Dec 2009 and you already have a date in court this June?

Wow that's fast.

My ticket was issued November and I still haven't heard anything. But that's North York.

I saw a funeral escort going through one of those, the thing flashed 10 times.

Hi,

Do they get ticketed? The city must get rich during such escorts.

Whatever the issue is, the very first step is to chose the "Option (3) Plead Not Guilty option".

Thanks guys.

If the interpreter doesn't show up, I win the case.

So I can wait until very last moment to plead not guilty to the judge, right?

There's one last question:

I checked the option "Request Interpreter". I am following TicketCombat's advice.

I do speak English, however, I am a lot more fluent in the language I chose in option 3.

I'm concerned that this may backfire on me.

Should I simply forget English on the trial date and plead guilty?
The cop may say that I spoke English ...

Will I receive a date for first attendance prior to the trial date?

There is no mention of First Attendance date in the ticket when I chose Option 3.

Thanks.

Can JP accept a plea bargain on the first attendance date or is it only the prosecutor right before the trial date?

Thanks guys.

Thanks guys.

If the cop shows up and sees that I'm pleading guilty in an attempt to lower the fine and the charge, could he try to influence the prosecutor otherwise?

In fact, could prosecutor increase charge and fine because of such notes?

diehard wrote:Can prosecutor add charges if he reads the cop's notes?

For example, the copy may have written in notes that I was following too closely another car before not obeying stop sign.

Am I at risk at getting a second conviction if prosecutors sees this?

Anyone?

diehard wrote:Is this possible at all?

Depends on the Prosecutor.

Can't the Prosecutor get offended if I ask him to change to conviction from "Failed to Stop Sign" to "Improper Muffler"?

If the cop is present, can he object to this?

Will the Improper Muffler conviction affect insurance?

Thanks.

What if the trial date is a few days after I receive the notification by mail?

The disclosure request can take up to 8 weeks, right?

Cheers.

So I got one two weeks ago on a nice Friday 13th... :roll:

Last week I went to the Offences Office and submitted Option 3 (plead not guilty). Trial date to be sent in approximately 6 months.

My intention is to delay as much as I can.

When should I request the disclosure?

According to Ticket Combat, it should be done right away.

I called the ...
