The motions I filed for were an 11b breach and section 7 breach. 11b - It's only been 6-7 months since my ticket but I was anticipating an adornment due to a lack of disclosure (section 7 breach).

Congratulations on this. It sounds like you really put the time in on this. I am going to try this as my trial will be at 13 months. When you say 15 days was not enough time, how many days before trial should you file?

At least 20 days.

The prosecution does have grounds to bring you back to court for a retrial. The charges have been stayed, and there is no statue of limitations for them to challenge you or revise the stayed decision.


When you file a charter motion to get the charges stayed.. It basically means you want the charge to be paused, and proceed no farther. But the prosecutor can bring these charges back if they wish..


But more often then not, the crown only bring back criminal matters that been stayed, and not traffic matters.


This is what my brother told me.. he works for the city of Toronto's court services division in the prosecutors office.

Maybe when the Crown has stayed the charges themselves, but I can't see how the Crown could bring back a case that was stayed by the Court. In traffic matters, a stay is basically a way for the court to say "ok, we didn't have a trial on the merits for this case, but to have a trial would offend basic fairness principles."

Hi Everyone


My first time visiting and posting - looking for some advice please !


I have a trial on Nov. 29

I was charged almost a year ago with speeding

I've submitted multiple requests for disclosure which went unanswered

A few weeks ago, I submitted a motion for a stay of proceedings citing 11b

Today (Nov 24), I get a VM from the prosecutors office that my Disclosure is ready for pick-up.


Here's what I need advice on:


Do I pick it up?


I alreeady submitted a motion for 11b and stated that the crown failed to provide disclousre in addition to the trial delay. Would I now be acknowledging that I got the disclosure in a timely manner if I go to pick it up and would that then disqualify a part of my constitutional question? What if I don't pick it up, will the crown use that against me?


Thanks in advance for your feedback.
