Provincial Offences Court
Highway Traffic Infractions can affect your license and insurance premiums. I represent clients in all Part 1 and Part III infractions. I also represent clients in By-law infractions regarding traffic infractions.
Other issues in the POA COURT , Building Code infractions, Ministry of Transportation infractions, Liquor offenses plus all other infractions.
Small Claim Court
The limit currently is $35,000. The monetary advantage to retain representation is self represented parties are limited to $500 costs plus disbursements, if successful. Represented by a paralegal the court can award costs of 15% of the amount claimed plus disbursements. There is a procedure that could double the costs award. The costs award are included in a Judgment in your favour. For the defendants it is important to mitigate the monetary damages if unable to have the action dismissed. For those defendants who are liable I will try to settle the case before it goes to court to save you from expenses of defending a lost cause.
I have extensive experience with construction, concrete, motor vehicle, contract law, wrongful dismissal, etc, which helps to understand the particulars of a case and to know what questions to ask.
