Spring in Sudbury unfortunately means pothole season. It is also accompanied with increased enforcement of cell phone use by law enforcement agencies. You should know that:
Simply paying this ticket "out of court" is an admission of guilt and leads to a 3 day driver's license suspension (on first offence), reinstatement fees and potentially higher insurance rates for all drivers. If you are a G2 driver you are at risk of being suspended for 30 days (on first offence). Call me at 705-562-7596 for a consultation before paying this or any ticket.

Now that the jury in the Renée Sweeney murder trial is deliberating on a verdict, a publication ban has lifted on some of the discussions in the Sudbury courtroom, including an attempt by the Sweeney family to 'sway' the jury.

Have you been following the trial? Guilty or not guilty?

If you have any young drivers in your family make sure everyone is aware of the potential repercussions to their driver's licenses if they are charged with certain offences. Novice drivers have less demerit points at their disposal than fully licensed drivers and are also subject to administrative suspensions for certain offences that fully licensed drivers would not be. Contact me for a consult before either paying for a ticket or pleading guilty to any charges.

I've heard of many slowdowns in the supply chain that have left consumers waiting for orders for longer than expected. Here is a link to the Consumer Protection Act https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/02c30
A relevant section is s.26
Late delivery
26 (1) A consumer may cancel a future performance agreement at any time before delivery under the agreement or the commencement of performance under the agreement if the supplier,

(a) does not make delivery within 30 days after the delivery date specified in the agreement or an amended delivery date agreed to by the consumer in writing; or

(b) does not begin performance of his, her or its obligations within 30 days after the commencement date specified in the agreement or an amended commencement date agreed to by the consumer in writing. 2002, c. 30, Sched. A, s. 26 (1).

Delivery or commencement date not specified
(2) If the delivery date or commencement date is not specified in the future performance agreement, a consumer may cancel the agreement at any time before delivery or commencement if the supplier does not deliver or commence performance within 30 days after the date the agreement is entered into. 2002, c. 30, Sched. A, s. 26 (2).

Forgiveness of failure
(3) If, after the period in subsection (1) or (2) has expired, the consumer agrees to accept delivery or authorize commencement, the consumer may not cancel the agreement under this section. 2002, c. 30, Sched. A, s. 26 (3).

This is the regulation that was created yesterday which basically makes Ontario a "stop and ID" state. It's dangerous because everything (i.e like being outside) seems like it could be "reasonable and probable" grounds. But always remember beyond providing ID you do NOT have to answer questions!
