Ontario Highway Traffic Act

I went with a friend to a first summons date for three traffic violations and they offered plea deal to drop two of the charges if he plead guilty to the third one.

So if you need a paralegal in the future, you probably dont want to use that one!

No harm, no injury, no damage = no crime ...

Rolling a stop sign or red light may violate a statute, but that does mean it was unsafe!

I really hate laws that purport to be about safety, but there is no obligation on the prosecution to prove that it was unsafe. It is all about $$$ for sure.

In Ontario there is pretty much a slim-to-none chance of them changing the charge to something else.

Check ticket for fatal errors and then post once you get disclosure.

Sorry I meant mother not wife.

I am confused. Who contacted your wife?

Did the police contact your wife?

Did your insurance company contact your wife?

Did a lawyer for the person on the bike contact your wife?

The person that works the desk at the office is just an office worker. Sometimes they are extremely helpful and sometimes they are extremely unhelpful.

The "prosecutor" (not the persecutor) is the lawyer that stands up in court to argue against you.

The "clerk of the court" is the person in court that does the recording and reads the charges out.

Well that is good that you got it dropped to TMC charge.

Maybe check your driving record in 1 or 2 months and let us know what, if anything, appears on it. Will interesting to see.

Yes if it is early resolution, then just take proof of your eye test and proof condition was lifted and hopefully prosecutor is in a good mood and will drop it.

Now the only other consideration is the dates that the trials were set...

So, as an example, let's say at the first trial was Aug 1, 2015 and at this trial you were offered a new date of Oct 1, 2015 but then YOU said I can not do that, how about Nov 1, 2015. In this case the delay from Aug 1 to Oct 1 would be counted but the delay from Oct 1 to ...

So yes it sounds like an 11B would be succesful.

You only have 16 days until trial, and you need to file it 15 days before trial. This means that you MUST file no later than tomorrow (by about 3pm to be safe), and the only way you can do this is the FAX method because if you send it registered mail to attorney generals office then they are not ...

Did the ticket say "NOTICE OF OFFENCE" on it or did it say "SUMMONS"?

When you say "first appearance" do you mean you chose the NOT GUILTY option and requested a trial?

What was the date you requested a trial... the count does not start until you ask for trial, so if you did early resolution first then that does not count.

What is the date of your next court date?

And can you confirm that the first two trials where adjourned because of failure to have disclosure?

I think somebody else posted in the forum earlier today as well with the wrong section number.

Anyways it seems like the section is not even close, so I would do the force a fatal error thing by not responding and then if it gets dropped great, and if convicted then appeal it.

Was probably supposed to be 136(1)(a)

Stop at through highway
136. (1 ...

No I am still talking about the section 7 not the 11b. An 11b is charter motion for unreasonable delay (right to speedy trial), meaning your trial took more than 10 months.

I have not filed a section 7 motion before. All I can suggest is that you look at the 11b motion and sort of use that as a guideline on how to do the section 7 one.
