Re: Trial is @ 2pm

Traffic Law wrote:It is a good practice to arrive in court 15-30 minutes before your scheduled time. This will give you an opportunity to discuss your case with prosecutor and prepare for trial.
Thanks.

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

Or am I missing something?

Trial is @ 2pm

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.

Re: 13 months = stay of charges?

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.

Re: 13 months = stay of charges?

Is this disclosure request form ok?

http://respect.to/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=LegalInfo.RequestForDisclosureForm

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 ...

Re: 13 months = stay of charges?

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.

Re: 13 months = stay of charges?

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...

13 months = stay of charges?

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 ...

Re: Notice of Trial still not received

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?

Re: HTA 136 (1)(a) - requesting disclosure

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

Should I ask for disclosure?

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. :)

Red Light Camera :( (Lakeshore Blvd & York St)

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 ...
