Ontario Highway Traffic Act

I'm still not clear on your strategy. I suggest you start with requesting the second officer's notes (through disclosure).

The officer would have no way of knowing where you live unless you told him something to warrant the charge:

Example 1:
Officer: Do you live here?
You: Yes.

Example 2:
Officer: Is the address on your licence correct?
You: No.
Officer: Here's a ticket for you.

Either way the question remains ...

Check out R. v. Andrews about having a passenger testify with contradictory evidence.

Also check out R. v. Stokes where the justice misclassified the charge as an absolute liability offence (very common mistake). It's also good for it's summary of the officer's testimony and evidence you should expect to be fighting.

When I was in high school I toured the parliament buildings. They had these little green buses that shuttled MPs and bureaucrats between buildings.

And congratulations on this one too!

Congratulations!

I'm not that familiar with this area of compelling witnesses to attend court (my experience is fewer witnesses, better outcomes!). But here's a brief primer.

* A subpoena is a document that requires a person to go to court as a witness in order to give testimony.

* A summons is a document issued by a court, agency, board or commission, or ...

This one was bugging me so I hauled myself over to the law library and looked up the case law. There isn't any. The only thing that exists are the transcripts of the trial decision and the appeal.

So let's set this up properly. The defendant is a lawyer. Her lawyer is an articling lawyer working for the firm. So lawyer defendant and lawyer rep ...
