The Speeding Ticket has taken a long time to come to court. Is there a time limit?
A. The court has somewhere between eleven months and 14 months depending upon the court and jurisdiction to get your case heard. If your case takes too long to come to trial you can apply for a “stay of proceedings” under section 11b of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. To do this you must prepare a written motion serve a copy of on the Attorney General of Canada and the Attorney General of Ontario within fifteen clear days of your trial date. The application must be accompanied with an affidavit of service and must be served on the court and the provincial prosecutor. You can file an 11b application by yourself, if you know what to do. There are not specific forms available from the government to do this. To properly file an 11b application we recommend the assistance of OTT Legal Services to file the appropriate paper work and documentation. OTT Legal Services has prepared and filed hundreds of 11b applications and knows how to do this with highest possible results. Call O
