This horse has been flogged to death. Pay the fine and move on. 2 points and not HTA repercussions. Meh!

the R. v. Meyer decision was repealed by the City of Toronto; Brown representing Meyer accepted the conviction and the fine without contesting the charge during the City's appeal.

what everyone needs to understand is the significance of the R. v. Meyer decision to the City of Toronto, you're looking at a major overhaul of EVERY sign which will cost the budget-strapped city A LOT of money; so of course a backroom/under-the-table deal was made with Brown/Meyer to accept the charge for oodles of cash (Subscribe to iFly55's Conspiracy Theory)

HOWEVER, people are still using the R. v. Meyer defence in court today; JPs & crown attorneys who aren't familiar with the case-law might accept it, if you do run into a JP/crown that know what's going on, you're toast

that's why I said maybe a French Judge or Prosecutor might be more sympathetic/forgiving and quash the charge vs. an English speaking Judge who knows the R. v. Meyer decision was repealed and isn't having any of it... either way the FLSA isn't a sure fire defence

Can you explain how the City of Toronto can repeal a case? I am aware of no such option.

I'm the OP, and today I went to the courthouse to request a hearing. The guy told me if I don't get a trial date in a month, to call them. Yeah right...right?! I'm thinking not calling, my goal is to buy as much time as possible.

Not right, let's say they schedule a hearing but you don't get a letter that states the date of your hearing; therefore you don't show up, they automatically convict you. I've read that it's a pain in the *** to reopen the case...

Hey guys,

I'm the OP and here's my news:

1) I got a hearing date for the beginning of next year.

2) Meanwhile, I'm changing my bike with the one I want (later this week), so I won't have to "wait" for the summer.

Having 2) in mind, isn't it a good idea that I accept the charges (e.g. next week after I already have my new insurance), so that I get the 3 year clock ticking? And how do I do that now, since I've already got a hearing date and all?
