How can you beat your No Insurance charge in Ontario dismissed or withdrawn?
Anyone can fight their Driving Without Insurance charge.
And it may be possible to win. And in some cases, it may be possible to get your charges withdrawn, even if you’re guilty.
How can you get your Driving Without Insurance charge withdrawn (or dismissed)?
If there is a big mistake with your Driving Without Insurance charge, it may get withdrawn.
And, there are 2 types of mistakes that can happen with your charge: Fatal Errors, and Minor Errors.
If your charge has a “Fatal Error”.
- These are errors that would impact the core of the charge itself.
- These mistakes cannot be fixed.
- Your charge would be withdrawn. Your case would be over!
If your charge has “Minor Error”.
- These errors can be fixed by the court. And, the case against you continues.
Where can you find the mistakes?
In your disclosure! The disclosure is all the evidence that the court has against you and will be used to prosecute the case against you.
- These mistakes are typically found in your disclosure. That’s why it’s so important to get your disclosure and read it over.
- Something missing? If you believe there is some evidence or information missing, you should request to get that missing information. Speak to the Prosecutor to find out how to order the missing disclosure.
The Prosecutor, upon seeing the Fatal Error, may decide to withdraw the charge.
Or, the Justice of the Peace, upon seeing a Fatal Error, may rule that the charge be dismissed.
What are your chances of getting the charges withdrawn?
Be realistic. It’s a small chance that your charge may have a “fatal error,” but it does happen. And it’s worth finding out.
