Are ya. Well I got arrested back over a year ago for

Have you been charged? Is there a court date?

You do not need to subpoena to arrive. If you do not show up for court there could be a warrant out for your arrest.

Ok, have you gotten your disclosure package?

If it was a ticket that would be a provicial offences. If you have a notice to appear, that sounds like a criminal matter. Were you charged criminally?

Oh I see. What is the ticket citation?

Hi there, yes I am here. I am not always by my computer so I walked away for a moment.

Let me take a look here.

Liquid Licence Act 34 (4)?

I am just taking a look here.

You were intoxicated in your own home or in a public space/common area.

The landlord cannot just lock you out and evict you without an order from the board. Do you live with the landlord?

If you live with the landlord the unit may not be protected under the Landlord tenant act.

Yes, you can. Because you were not charged for a crime under the criminal code. You are describing all the rights under the criminal code, but this is a provicial offences act, like a traffic ticket.

The porach may be a public space if it is set as a common space by the landlord.

That might be groudns to fight your ticket. You need to request disclosure from the crown.

If there are no other renters and you are within the private property, you should be able to drink there.

Your landlord cannot evict you like that, she needs to apply to the board for an eviction.

You can be detained that is not unlawful. The police has the right to detain individuals for a reasonable amount of time.

No, there is currently no eviction freeze, and an individual could be evicted during this tiem for cause. However, the landlord has to prove that cause before the board.

The landlord tenant board will restore your tenancy and potentially compensate you for rent paid. I do not see how there is a tort suit, but it does sound like an illegal eviction. You could potentially call the housing enforcement unit or the police to get you back into your rental unit.

You are very welcome. There may be grounds for actions against the landlord, including fines, but the main remedy will be for you to return to the unit.

You are very welcome. Anything else I can help you with today?

You need to fight those tickets in the provicial court if that is the case.

I do not understand why that is. That could still be admissible if a police officer is able to pinpoint the time and place of the ticket.

You should always attend and defend, I would highly recommend you attend court. There is no merandization required for provicial offences.

They do not need witnesses, at the end of the day it is up to the crown to prove their case.

Correct.
