Well a re-trial is better than guilty!!! You can basically start fresh again this time, however you can also ask questions or reference answers that the officer gave in the first trial. So if you ask the officer a question that you asked last time, and he gives you a different answer (that you don'...

Had my appeal today, and i've been awarded a retrial. Didn't even mention the submissions part, wasn't needed. Hopefully this time I will do better to discredit the officer (or the justice will be more fair...).

Unless now I can go for 11b haha.

You could ask for the appeal to be re-scheduled as you just noticed the error. Hmm that's a good point. But I wonder if that part of the transcript is available anywhere as I imagine they'd have included it. It probably can't be used to get me off huh, since I did my part in paying for the transcri...

Ah I think it's too late for that. Shoot. I didn't see that was missing until now.

so this may be a dumb question but my transcript from my day of court doesn't contain mine or the prosecutions submissions. All it says is: "The Court: You can have a spot back over here again." "... Submissions by Mr. Me" "... Submissions by Mr. Prosecutor" then Reason...

It's for speeding but gives you something to work off.

Thank you. I'll go through that.

Well I got my appeal date and it's coming up soon. I haven't hired representation so hopefully I can present my case effectively. Hopefully I can find some sample HTA appeals to read through so I know what to expect.

Call the court office where you filed the appeal to find out what's going on. It may be that a notice was sent in error to you. You need to clarify that with the court; not the prosecution's office. Secondly, forget about doing an 11b on an appeal. The court guidelines that apply for trials are not...

So despite my best efforts, I lost my trial in September. I immediately paid my fine and requested transcripts and filed my appeal. The transcripts were picked up and served in early November, around the 10th. I have not heard anything about this since then. Is this normal? They had no issues gettin...

The notes could be sufficient to prove guilt for the alleged offence. The fact that you and the officer have a differing recollection of what transpired doesn't make the officer's note's inaccurate, it's simply his version/recollection of what transpired. You'll need to think of some specific, rele...

Hello, Some months ago I was stopped after entering an intersection on an amber then completing the turn. The ticket reads "Did commit the offence of DISOBEY RED LIGHT - FAIL TO STOP contrary to HTA 144(18)". I don't see any fatal flaws so looks like I'm legitimately arguing my case in cou...
