Re: What if judge rejects my 11b motion?

If you appeal and are successful, it will be wiped off your MTO record. If you appeal and are not successful, then the conviction will stand.

Just curious - is this hypothetical or did the JP reject your 11B? 13 months is absolutely long enough for an 11B.

Hypothetical... :D

I need a plan B if my 11b fails, it's a worst case scenario.

Re: Prosecutor would not accept my 11b form

Did you have your 4f sworn before a commissioner of oaths?

Please read my posts here from 26/11/2010 4:13 pm and below: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com ... 08-15.html

I didn't use a 4F, I used a Notice of Application for Stay of Proceedings (http://scopezoom.com/11b/StayPDF.pdf).

It has to be sworn before you serve the prosecutor.

I went to the Markham Rd. court office last week to watch some cases like OP did.

Re: What if judge rejects my 11b motion?

11b motion is heard pre-trial. If your motion fails you will be required to enter a plea and either proceed with trial or plead guilty. You may appeal the 11b decision after the completion of the case.

If I appeal the 11b decision, will the conviction still show in the MTO records?

My goal here is to avoid the possibility of my insurance ...

Re: Appeal for 141(7) Improper Left Turn

Insurance companies don't care about demerit points.

All they want to know is about convictions.

If you're convicted of this one, then your insurance may increase (that depends on company forgiveness too etc).

Perhaps you can consider fighting the ticket.
A lot of things can happen, like officer not showing up, delayed trial, etc.

What if judge rejects my 11b motion?

The trial day comes and lets suppose the judge rejects my request for stay of proceedings based on 11b.

According to the judge, 13 months isn't that much time, so he decides to proceed with the trial.

He asks me to plead.

What should I do?
How can I appeal the refusal of the stay of proceedings?

^^^ answering my own question:


An Application for Stay of Proceedings is also known as a "notice of Constitutional question" or a "Constitutional challenge" and is known as a preliminary motion, which has to be dealt with by the Courts, prior to the actual trial of the facts or merits of the case.
