Information for anyone wishing to contest a ticket in relation to demonstrations in Montreal – from lawyer Denis Poitras:
1) Contest your ticket by signing it, indicating the date and checking “not guilty”. Don’t write anything else, no explanations, don’t indicate a motive (this will help better prepare any legal proceedings).
2) Scan your ticket and email it to poitrasdenis@gmail.com with a phone number you can be reached at as well as your version of the facts. If you don’t have access to a scanner, you can fax it to 514-289-1729.
3) Mail it to the Municipal Court.
4) Don’t publish your version of the facts elsewhere!
You should hear back from the Municipal Court within 6 months, possibly more. We will create a private listserv for all the accused in order to organize a joint trial, examine different possibilities in terms of legal defense, funding options, etc.
