@highwaystar thank you for your input into this discussion, it's been very helpful.
I thought they only used the Superior Courts (judge/jury) if one of the parties intended to "tort" sue the other for loss/damages (health, work, psych etc); isn't the threshold $30,000?
The damage at most to each vehicle appears to be <$3000.

Re: Please help find who's fault is this (dash cam video)
This is an interesting topic
Can someone point me to the exact sections of the HTA & Fault Determination Rules that discuss yielding right of way at a traffic signal controlled intersection? What section of the HTA is the OP guilty of?

Re: How long does it typically go to trial in Toronto?
What do you mean by "will be required"? Are there consequences if he does not come? From what I've been reading online and what the officer told me, the other party usually doesn't come to court as there is no incentive for them to come. This results in the charge being dropped. Rather than copy/paste posts from other threads, i'll just leave ...

Re: Incorrect info on Accident Report. Can case be thrown ou
If you choose to go to trial; the accident report will not be used to convict you. The officer will subpoena the other driver. That driver will be the crown witness and will testify under oath as to the details of the accident.
The license plate discrepancy recorded on the MVAR has nothing to do with the charge.

Re: 182 (2) Disobey Sign - Help
From what I read, I simply have to ask for the stay, walk the court through my documents, what I asked for and when. However, I would assume that the prosecutors will not take too kindly to giving up on trying to win and may have some tactics to present me with disclosure on the spot and set a new court date? Do I require any case law to prove ...

It's in your best interest to book your G road test at the earliest availability and become fully licensed in order to avoid a [future] DL suspension, if you're convicted [again] . Tired eyes, i meant to write this. It also looks better when you're trying to cut a deal.

That is incorrect, if he gets an HTA conviction that carries +4 demerit points his license will get suspended. In my earlier post, I gave you two links: first was from the MTO, the second was the legislation that supports it.
The situation you're discussing is if he has multiple HTA convictions that carry less than 4 demerit points.

Also keep in mind that +49, +53 or Stunt Driving all carry four or more demerit points; you will receive an automatic 30-day driver's license suspension on your novice class G2 license; it's part of the novice driver's escalation sanctions.
