| Court wait time.
Just curious how long has it been taking for you guys' court time to arrive? I fought my ticket last August and I have yet to receive any mails. It's been over half a year already.
TIA.

Mine's been almost 2 years and still no date yet.
My guess is that if it's under a certain amount, they don't even bother..

Here's some information I found that may be useful to you guys Quote:
Any person charged with an offense in Canada has the right to be tried within a reasonable period of time, under section 11b of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
| Quote:
There is no "set time limit", or length of delay when considering if there is an 11(b) infringement as each case is considered on its merits and on a combination of the four listed factors. Generally the courts consider a period of 11 to 12 months sufficient to support an 11(b) argument | Taken from: http://www.ottlegal.com/en/11bApplications.html |

hey PJ make sure to make a thread or update this one if / when you actually do get your court date,
im pretty interested to see if they will just give it up if it really does take 2 years to get a court date.
these massive delays are to be expected anyway, I remember 5 some years ago the delay was only 6 months or so, and it just kept getting worse, and here we are now. Cops are giving out tickets more and more for dumber and dumber things.

I'd like the OP to keep us updated as well. I disputed a stupid ticket I received in January, and want to see if I can use this "reasonable time period" argument when or if it ever goes to court.
anyone else care to chime in with their dispute experiences?

These days with all the BS laws lots of people are disputing so they are backed up.
Expect to wait 12-16 months.

Could this work for even the small claims?

| Just because it's a small claim doesn't mean that the Charter doesn't apply. |

Cops are giving out tickets more and more for dumber and dumber things. | I'm sure it depends on the situation/violation and the reasoning you had for disputing it.
Mine was only a parking ticket, so I could see how they could just waive mine off. Basically I put a toonie in the meter, but it didn't register. I wasn't going to pay twice, so I just left it. Sure enough, I came back to a ticket. I disputed it on the grounds of a faulty meter. And like I said, it's been almost 2 years now and I haven't heard back, so I think in my case it's safe to assume they just dropped it.
If it was a traffic ticket, there will probably be more intricacies. A coworker of mine got his court date 9 months after he disputed.

Now that you mention it, it's almost a year for me as well. My ticket is under $100 and will cost the system more than that just to see me in court even if I end up needing to pay |
