Ontario Highway Traffic Act

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...

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 that the burden is not on prosecution and it's up to ...

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 stopping at stop sign and he had to give tickets ...

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 and he may have underestimated your research.

I'm ...

Guys,

My trial date in August is approaching.

From many experts out here on this forum, could someone give their opinion?

Any response would be greatly appreciated...

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?

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 witness who was sitting besides me. My court date was ...

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 had my phone number on it but then I asked for ...

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 could influence the outcome of the case and therefore the Crown is ...

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 they don't have a criminal record then no criminal ...

Hi there,

I'm actively following this site and ticketcombat to defend my charge for careless driving (HTA 130). These are great material and all are FREE... Thank you to all of you for taking the time to help people like us. It's also good for democracy in general if people know their rights and understand the law.

I had a trial date today and ...
