Re: Stop sign - HTA 136 1(a) violation

Thanks Diehard.

11b is definitely there. I was also thinking to add sections 7 and 14 with 11b. That way if one doesn't work, the other may...

Re: Stop sign - HTA 136 1(a) violation

I had a court date today and the interpreter did not come even though I had requested it in the form. There was an argument between the JP and the prosecutor about whose burden is that to ensure that the interpreter is there when the defendant specifically requests for one. The prosecutor argued tha...

Stop sign - HTA 136 1(a) violation

Hello, I was charged in residential street in Brampton last week for HTA 136-1(a) violation. Actually, the street is just across from my home. I indeed stopped at stop sign and then moved on but the cop said I wasn't. The cop said that someone in the neighbourhood had complained about people not sto...

I find it a risky approach. The prosecutor could have easily tricked you. He might have said that he would withdraw the charge and in front of JP he would have amended the ticket and forced you to go to trial. I think the prosecutor was honest by telling you that he is not withdrawing your charge an...

Thank you Radar.

I would think these arguements and the citation of a case law does make sense however I don't have much experience dealing with courts.

Does anyone has different take on it?

Insufficent disclosure

I hit the car from behind in May 2008 and even though the accident was very small and no one was injured, I was charged for careless driving. There are two crown witnesses for the incident - one was other car's driver and the other claims that he was sitting on his home's front steps. I've one witne...

Quick question -

While requesting a witness interview and witness criminal check, do I need to mention the reasons in a disclosure request to the prosecutor? OR I just need to provide the reasons to the Justice of Peace when the prosecutor doesn't provide the witness interview and criminal check.

My first court date was in June and it was adjourned as the prosecutor had failed to give me full disclosure. The second court date is in August. I got a call from the prosecutor yesterday and he asked me to pick up the disclosure from his office. The first disclosure request form that I sent to him...

Thank you for taking the time to respond... A couple more quick questions… 1 – Is it valid and logical to argue that the information regarding criminal records for witness(es) is material and unless I have them, I cannot know if it's relevant to my case or if I need them. It...

1 - I guess I should be more specific. My question is does the Crown has a legal obligation to find if the witness(es) have a criminal record? I don't think Crown has even checked whether the witness(es) have a criminal record or not and they are arguing it's irrelevant information. I understand if ...
