Hi all... Was stopped for speeding. Officer put 95kmh in a posted 80kmh zone.... but failed to put in the section information - it was left out. Will that amount to a "law doesn't exist" fatal error? I asked because I cannot find "95kmh in a posted 80kmh zone" in the HTA.... Yes, it was reduced, but the officer didn't put the "r" in the proper section either... I don't think the officer had his radar on PERIOD.... I was on a motorcycle and when I looked in the window, there was nothing on the radar output..... Anyway.... Cop was cool, but that doesn't stop me from asking the question... Thanks in advance.

Does the missing section # severely prejudice your ability to make a proper defence to the charge? I would suggest it does since it prevents you from looking up the section #. If it severely prejudices your ability to make a proper defence it should be considered a fatal error.

I tend to disagree with Simon, which I seldom do, many of my offence notices (I write several hundred a year) over my career HAVE been amended for this omission. The JPs tend to rule it's not a serious impediment to defending yourself. You know the substance of the offence and the section number can easily be looked up. Just sayin'

It used to be that "submissions like that" needed to be objectioned before jurisdiction was determined. ie: as you approach the bench you object. Then point out the omission. I beat at least 3 tickets that way back when I was a speeder. I believe that the ticket can be amended only after the trial has started. Cheers Viper1

Here on a part 1 it seems to be hit or miss. Seems to depend on JP and prosecutor of they chose to run with it. If a person has a good record they seem to withdraw. Poor record they fight hard. On a part 3 it seems to have no bearing as the first court date it is explained and all proper defense cab be in place for the trial.

This is my first time ever getting a ticket and I am completely frustrated and don't know what to do.
On July 7th, I was driving to work, taking my usual route and it's about a 15 minute drive for me. At the first red light, I noticed I had a bit of time thanks to the countdown so I quickly…
I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction to track down various radar gun error codes.
Way back in March of this year I was stopped for speeding, 86kmh in a 60 Community Safety Zone, on Mayfield Rd., on the outskirts of Brampton. (Aloa school)
My husband was driving my car and passed a school bus with flashing lights. He did not realize this until he was past the bus. The driver honked at him but there were no cops nearby and he didn't get pulled over. I believe the driver or witnesses reported this and we got issued a…
Hey guys I was hoping for some advice on my first ever ticket.

Hi, last summer I was pulled over when I made a left turn from he middle lane at Harbor and Yonge Street (heading east on the Gardiner and taking the Yonge exit). I swear they nabbed about 10 people in 5 minutes. Anyways, I decided to challenge in court, my court date is in April and I have just…
In Kanda, the court established that this offence is a strict liability charge. In other words, you can offer a defence of due diligence. In Kanda the defendant explained the…
Last July I got pulled over for failure to obey stop sign at a T-intersection in my neighbourhood. After I got my trial date I requested disclosure in November. Sent in another request for disclosure in early January and in mid-January got a call to pick it up at the court office. The disclosure…
