This section below addresses the administration of provincial offences in Ontario and car insurance related concerns the public has.

 

1. Trials (Argue your case)

Deal making happens often between the defendants and prosecutors and can be made before trials begin. 

1. You should arrive at the court house prepared to argue your case.

2. Arrive early so that you may discuss your intentions with the prosecutor, either to have a trial, plead guilty or strike a deal.  Meeting before trial begins benefits both the defense and the prosecutor.

 2. Extension to pay fine / Re-openings

1. Extensions: you can apply to have an extension from the court of jurisdiction to have more time to pay the fine. This process is uniform throughout Canada.

2. Re-openings: if you have missed your court date for a certain reason and were convicted of the offense(s), you may apply for a re-opening. This process is uniform throughout the province of Ontario.

​

3. 11(b) Charter Application

This is an option available to defendants who wish to argue that they were prejudiced by the court because it took too long for them to come to trial. This argument is available to everything from speeding tickets to murder trials. Everyone in Canada who is charged with an offence has the right to have their trial as soon as possible without a lengthy delay.

​

4. Appeals

This process involves arguments to a higher court for reasons of law alone why a conviction should be overturned. Before an appeal can be heard the sentence that was imposed on the defendant at the lower court must be dealt with. So, if the person had jail time or a fine imposed then these issues have to be dealt with before the appeal is allowed. There is a set amount of time that is given allowing you to appeal. In Ontario you have 30 days from the date that you were convicted of the offence to appeal a matter. If you are outside this time then you will have to apply for an extension of time to file an appeal first.

 

5. Extension of time to appeal

If a certain amount of time has passed then a straight or direct appeal may not be allowed. An extension of time to appeal must be granted before an appeal can be heard. Arguments must be presented to the court answering why it took so long for a person to file an appeal, or why they did not file in time. Generally the court would also like to hear the grounds that you intend to argue for your appeal as well. You must deal with the fine or sentence that was imposed on you before your appeal is granted. By way of recognizance a person may deal with their fine without having to pay for it all at once before your appeal is heard.

​

6. Recognizance and bail pending appeal

Dealing with the sentence and fine must be done in certain ways before the appeal can be heard. You may ask the court not to make you pay the fine before allowing your appeal. This is called an order for recognizance. If jail time was imposed you can ask the court to grant bail pending the appeal.

 

7. Errors and Mistakes in favor of defence / police officer does not show up to court

For issues such as this, these a defendant could have their cases dismissed. Contact us for consultation.

 

           Car insurance: the concern is price

The main concern for the majority of people looking for insurance is price. Why do some insurance companies cost more than others? We asked this question of 10 respective insurance brokers. The responses varied while the information that we provided to them was the same.

 

The majority of the increases in car insurance is relative to the amount of traffic violations, car accidents (at fault), and driving experience a person has. The first thing that people must consider when asking for a quote is there driving record or drivers abstract and how many at fault accidents they were involved in. The drivers abstract is the record of how many traffic tickets or violations (convictions) that they have received in the last 3 years.
 
If there are more than one car and driver in the household then it would be necessary to look at everyone collectively. Another driver in the household could potentially raise your insurance premium 
 

          Basic things to consider for car insurance pricing:
Any 2 traffic violation is enough to raise your insurance
or 1 traffic ticket and on accident(at fault)-meaning it was your fault that the accident occurred, can and often does raise your insurance rate.
