I had a trial yesterday but I missed the trial. Somehow I wrote the wrong date down and thought it was Tomorrow. I had planned to do an 11b because my trial was 16 months past the offense. It was for a summons (careless driving) and in my absence I was convicted. I called and they said because it wa...

I am filing an 11b to stay my trial for unreasonable delay. On the form 4F, I had instructions to put the following text: The following is the legal basis for the constitutional question: The defendant has a legal right to be tried within a reasonable time. The defendant has not waived his right to ...

Continuation of this charge.. I have a question about an 11b and if it would apply to my situation. After reading this please let me know if I can apply for an 11b and if I have a reasonable chance at it. Got charged on Feb 14, 2013 for Careless driving. Given a summons because officer was in a rush...

Thank you for your kind response. 1. If I do show up to the first court appear, is the cop supposed to be there? What if he doesn't show up on that day, will it be dropped? Or is it not necessary that the cop shows that day? Before I ask for disclosure, is it better for me to wait to see if the cop ...

I got a speeding ticket 74km in a 50km zone last Feb 2012 in Milton. I immediately filed for trial. I never received a notice of trial. In September I was wondering why I hadn't received anything yet. I then got a letter from ministry of transportation saying I had 6 points now in total and it was a...

Update on the trial: Someone from another forum gave me this advice. "If other driver doesnt show up the cop has no case. He did not witness the accident therefore he cannot be a witness. It depends on the other driver how much he values his time. If he decides to show up then adjurn the case t...

You wrote " The JP might adjourn with no penalty, or might charge it to the Prosecutor... anyway, worth a try." What do you mean by the JP might charge it to the prosecutor? Does that mean the charge might get dismissed because they failed to provide it in time? (this would be the best cas...

Thank you for your answer. I was driving eastbound at 8:30pm in August and the sun was setting behind me. If I looked at the mirror and the brightness of the sun caused me to momentarily lose focus and look down is this a justifiable argument to not be charged? I didn't explain this to the oficer th...

I rear ended someone and got charged for careless driving. I requested disclosure and just received it 2 days before the trial date which is Jan 10th, 2013. The accident was Aug 28, 2012. I initially requested disclosure 2 weeks after accident, but nothing came. Then I followed up with a 2nd request...
