Hello,
I received a ticket for 136(1)(a) – Disobey Stop Sign in York Region and was looking for some support. I am planning to ask for a trial, request disclosure and see if they provide disclosure at all or what the disclosure says before deciding next steps. I have a question for those who may have more insight into best practices.

When offered ...

Thank you so much for your help and advice. I think I will do that.

Thank you for your response and help.

I assume there is less chance I can ask for a trial, ask for disclosure (hope there are some procedural issues) but if there isnt, pay the current (amended lower) ticket/fine, etc at my trial date? Or is it more likely that the minute I show up for a trial, they will likely amend the ticket up immediately and ...

Hello All,
Today I was driving in a 60 zone that suddenly dropped down to a 40. I did not realize and was keeping up with traffic in the area. I was pulled over by a police officer who was radar'ing from a hidden location off the side of the road.

He informed me that I was driving 72 in a 40 zone. After giving me a ticket, he explained he would ...

UPDATE:

Hello All,
My girlfriend went to court today (for the second time) with the plan to provide proof that she did have a valid sticker a the time of the ticket and would want that charge dropped, if she plead guilty to the other charge.

She arrived at the court and found on the docket her case info crossed off and said "ADJ". She was ...

I see,
Thank you for the advice and help. Much appreciated.

How much more are you expecting out of a disclosure request for parking tickets?

What exactly are you looking for?


Thanks for the reply.

Our initial hope was that the time to trial would be unreasonable or to not receive disclosure so that the charges would be stayed. Unfortunately, this did not happen. The "notes" provided are essentially ...

Hello All,
Some backstory:
In July, my girlfriend had received 2 tickets for parking on a Toronto street. One ticket was for parking after midnight without a permit. She had gone into the home she was visiting to look online to buy a permit but was ticketed before this could be achieved. The other was for not having a valid plate because she had ...

Hello Everybody,
My friend received the notice of impending conviction today and she noticed on the form it says "Warning: on conviction you will be required to pay the set fine plus the court costs of 16.00 dollars".

Is this only if she does not respond as a penalty? Or is this if she fights the ticket in any fashion? Meaning, if she requests a ...

Thank you all for your help. More info to come, if/when disclosure shows up

Thanks again!

Hello All,
Someone I know was staying at a family member's home for the evening and received a "parking without a permit" ticket for parking after midnight on a Toronto street. She arrived around midnight and parked her car to go inside and look online to purchase a permit for the evening. She went back to her car to get some information and found ...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! To everyone on here that devote their time to helping others....

I went to court today prepared to only ask for an adjournment due to a lack of disclosure. After some of the comments on here, I was planning on ignoring the charter question and wait for another trial.

When I met with the crown, he opens the file ...

Hello All,
Sorry for re-replying to this old thread. I have still not received any disclosure from the prosecution. My trial will be coming up shortly and just want a definitive answer to a couple questions.

1) Should I ignore my attempt for a stay based on lack of disclosure? Is there any chance of this being accepted or considered by a JP?

2 ...

IMO you wasted your time and money filing the stay for non-disclosure.

This is disappointing but thank you for your input.

I would not have put so much time and effort into fighting this if the courthouse wasn't 5 minutes from where I live. Filing papers and whatnot could be done without any real hardship to my time.

What I am looking to do ...

Hey All,
Today I submitted my notice for constitutional question to the prosecution and the court since I have not received any disclosure and my trial is roughly 16 business days away.

I was pretty nervous when the clerk at the prosecution office found out what I was submitting and told me to hang on as she walked away to speak with someone. I ...

Ticketcombat is an excellent resource and starting point, but dont take it as gospel.

Posters on this forum have reported mixed results arguing the requirement to provide a bylaw for signs. The Crown will typically argue the sign itself is evidence of the bylaw. Unfortunately I dont know what case law says on this point. Be prepared to argue why ...

Leave an email address.

Thank you Bend... I think I may do that. But I have some time before my second round of disclosure to decide if I want to include my phone number or not.

Another question for you all. I recall somewhere (maybe TicketCombat) that every sign erected by the city has to have a by-law for it. Can I demand this with my next ...

Im personally of the belief you should provide your phone number. If the Court office told you they would call and you intentionally left off your phone number, how will you argue it the Crowns fault you never obtained disclosure?


Thanks for the reply..

I was concerned about their "We dont mail... We will call" was a tactic to have a "valid ...

I filed for a trial and received my court date in 4 months.

Today I dropped off my request for disclosure.

I did not provide a phone number with my request, as per the suggestion by TicketCombat.com. When I submitted my paperwork, the receptionist made a point to say "we will not be mailing disclosure, we will contact you by phone to pick it up ...

Hello All,

Today I was driving in an unfamiliar area in York Region (Markham). I was driving westbound in the inside lane on a 2 lane road in heavy traffic. I turned into a dedicated left turn lane and made the turn immediately due to the opening in oncoming traffic. Once I made the turn, I noticed a police officer parked in their typical "quota ...

Radar Identified
File the 11B ASAP and see if you can order the transcripts at the same time when you visit the courthouse.

The only time it is "too early" to file the 11B is if the 11-month "window" has not gone by. (Technically it is 10.5 months but who's counting...)

Thanks for the help.. I will have her submit the 11b this week.. Can you ...

Your girlfriend should have asked that the "certificate of offence" be marked to indicate that the reason for the adjournment was for lack of disclosure, so that the court knows why the case was adjourned on the first court date.

Is it too late to get this done? There must be a way to have one created/copied from court documents? How would ...

Hey All,
Just wondering if anyone has some advice.. I dont want to miss out on anything.

Should she be doing anything from now until 15 days before the re-scheduled trial and she submits another 11B?

Thanks for the help

So, in the end, the Judge told my girlfriend to come back in August with the proof of what was inside the registered letter.

Just a question... do you know if the JP told the clerk "make sure I am seized for that day"? Regardless, I think the JP was preparing for a favourable ruling to your girlfriend. Otherwise, he would've ordered the trial to ...

Anyone have any help or insights?

Thanks

UPDATE:
Some bad news... but I am very proud of my girlfriend.

My girlfriend went for her trial today, she met with the prosecution and did not fall for their tricks, made her way to the trial and stood before the justice and asked for a stay because of non-disclosure. The Prosecution (apparently somewhat un-intelligent) stood before the justice ...

If your trial date on 1st of March and you filed the 11b application on 08 Feb'10 - YOU ARE NOT LATE.

Really? By my calculations, (not counting weekends or the day of the trial) 5 days per week multiplied by 3 weeks equals 15 days (minus 1 for Family Day would equal 14)

Could you please explain why I am not late? Am I miscalculating in some way ...

Hey All,
Thanks to all those for their help thus far. My girlfriend and I went in today and with the help of the Ticket Combat website we served the prosecution and the clerk with the paperwork for an 11B.

Now it is just the waiting game and hope all of the hard work pays off in the end.. Keep up the great work helping people defend themselves ...

racer wrote:I would still apply for it, one day late or not, and see what happens.

Thanks for the help. Is it possible for her to claim that there is a conflict in the date or time and needs to move the trial to later. And that would give her more time to file the papers?

Any help is appreciated..

Hey Everyone,
I just realized an issue with my case.. Due to the stupid "family day" holiday, I miscalculated the 15 days notice for the 11b and I am off by one day. (Trial Date is March 1st) My plan was to have it submitted Monday but now after some calculations, with Family day, it would have been needed to be in today (which is obviously too ...
