Great, thanks again for the quick response. I think what i'm going to do then is request for an adjournment to another date, on the grounds that I need some more time to review the disclosure documents (or perhaps I'll have an emergency I need to attend to that day?). Do you think that would go over well with the prosecutor and/or JP? At worst, I can at least postpone my insurance rate hike until next year, when it's up for renewal in october.

Thanks again for the great input

Also, I received a "Summons to Defendant" under Part III of the Provincial Offences Act, so I think this is not considered a "First Attendance Date", but rather, a "First Appearance Date".

However, do I not ...

I was stopped yesterday for a speeding ticket, and driving with a suspended license (which i was not aware of--it was for an unpaid traffic ticket), as well as not having my driver's license on me. I was given a summons to appear before court 6 weeks from now. I paid my unpaid traffic ticket, and will likely get my driver's license reinstated in a week. I will be requesting Disclosure of evidence next week, and assuming that i don't receive the disclosure within 15 days of my trial date, I will be filing for a stay application based on Non-disclosure of evidence. Typically, all of the websites...
