  • When you get charged with driving while under suspension in Ontario, a Police officer will give you a summons.
  • That summons will outline your driving under suspension charge.
  • The summons will also have a date, time and location letting you know where and how to go to court.
  • And that court date will either be online or in person.
  • Now for the court to have the POWER to enforce the driving suspension charge under section 53(1) of the highway traffic act, a legal pass needs to happen.
  • In other words, the charge the police gave you must legally pass from the police to the court system.
  • That legal pass must happen for the court to have the power to enforce your charge.  
  • That power is called jurisdiction.
  • And that legal pass is NOT automatic.
  • Something needs to happen for your charge to legally pass from the police to the court system.
  • And that is where the technicality lies.
  • If that legal pass does not happen, the court would NOT have the power to enforce your driving suspension charge.
  • And your charge would get withdrawn.
  • Even if you are guilty.
  • What is incredibly important is that you usually have only one opportunity to find out if that legal pass happened.
  • And, that’s at your first appearance.
  • In other words, the first time you appear before the court for your driving while under suspension.
  • If you don’t address the issue of the legal pass the first time you go to court, you will miss out on taking advantage of this technicality.
