March 25, 2013 = speeding ticket issued April 2, 2013 = took time off work, submitted notice of intention to appear in court (I'm not 100% certain on the date, is it possible to get a confirmation by calling the court/prosecutor's office?) May 31, 2013 = notice of trial issued, received by mail about 2 weeks later, the trial date is set for October 29, 2013 June 14, 2013 = took time off work, requested for disclosure in person, have stamped paperwork, they forced me to leave a phone # September 10, 2013 = disclosure issued, however I was informed about it much later via a phone call, around early October October 7, 2013 = took time off work, picked up disclosure (3 weeks from trial date), the clerk at the prosecutor's office took a long time to locate my disclosure because it was filed in in a different folder, not according to my last name! October 8, 2013 = after a quick review, I noticed the disclosure was incomplete (laser testing for incorrect device #) so I had a family member submit a 2nd disclosure request on this date, have stamped paperwork October 11, 2013 = after more thorough review, I noticed laser manual was missing as originally requested (only pages related to testing were provided), I took time off work and submitted a 3rd disclosure request asking for the manual, as well as other information (device maintenance records, officer's log for the day, etc.) October 25, 2013 = notified on Friday afternoon via phonecall that additional disclosure is ready, the trial is next week Tuesday October 29, 2013 = trial date, took time off work, picked up additional disclosure which appears to include laser manual in its entirety, device maintenance records, a few other things, but not everything I requested in my 3rd request. I then go to the court room and the prosecutor asks me about my situation. I told him I received incomplete disclosure the first time, and just picked up additional disclosure 30 mins ago. He understood the situation and proposed to postpone the trial date so that I can review the documentation and seek legal advice, I agreed. The new trial date is set for April 1, 2014. While the extension was being granted, I don't recall the exact language, I believe it was simply stated that the the adjournment is due to disclosure being received last-minute (does that imply it's the fault of the Crown?). Would I have to order court transcripts to verify what's been recorded on this day? And the ultimate question - do I have a case for 11b? Thank you!

So I was driving at night probably between 12am-1am in my fathers car along Derry, upon crossing Hurontario (light was Green) and in the distance I saw no "countdown" or flashing of the stop sign for pedestrians , however, a car running along Hurontario's headlights…
I watched a 1-hour interview with Mr. Mulcahy on Legal Briefs with Lorne Honickman a few weeks ago. I felt terrible for him because he lost his 18-yr.old son at a very young age. When I listened to his pleas for "no tolerance" legislation with regard to…
So I was driving east bound pulling an empty tandem trailer on a gravel highway. Eventually I caught up to a truck pulling a fifth wheel. The speed limit was 70km/h and I don't quite remember but I'm almost 100% that the guy in front of me was driving at 60km/h. After being behind him for a few…
I was travelling Eastbound on Finch Avenue West. I had made a left off of Westmore Drive (Just East of Hwy 27) and fell into a speed trap right as I was speeding up from making the left. I was clocked at 72 in a 50 zone. I notice on the ticket it says travelling east bound on Finch Ave E at Humber…

I was pulled over and told I went through a red light during a right turn. I learned through a friend who is a police constable that the one who pulled me over is new to the job (under a year, and possibly even the first month or two of real duty).
Ok, so I got into a fight with my boyfriend as I thought he was cheating on me. I got angry and I bumped his car with my car once at the side of a residential road, then reversed and bumped into it again. It was not an accident, it was on purpose. My boyfriend was in the car when this happened in…
Yesterday I attended a traffic court in York region.
The process went as you would expect, the prosecutor called each defendant one by one and offered a plea deal and nearly all of them accepted the deal and pleaded guilty.
Near the end of the day the prosecutor asked for a recess to setup some…
I was travelling in town at 12:20am (night), a firetruck came from behind me so I got out of its way like I was supposed to (stopped to side and turn signal), all is good. The firetruck passes me and turns left on the intersection (once again all is good). I now start moving again and have a…
