Talk:Ontario Court of Justice

message: I've again removed links for two websites, recently restored without comment. These websites for Road Warriors Paralegal Services Inc (described as a link to an "Ontario Court of Justice Traffic Ticket Tutorial") and Dynamic Legal Solutions (described as a link to "Ontario Court of Justice Traffic Ticket Defence Information") are in no way affiliated with the Ontario Court of Justice. Moreover, as commercial sites their inclusion runs counter to Wikipedia's policy concerning external links, Need I add that the subject of this article is the Ontario Court of Justice? There is not so much as a mention of traffic tickets within the body of the article. Victoriagirl 14:51, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: For the fifth time  in three months I've removed the link which to Road Warriors Paralegal Services Inc, which was originally added and repeatedly restored by . The most recent edit summary provided by Rh98aa is correct in that an external link need to be affiliated with the Ontario Court of Justice. My observation above, which I repeat here, is that the description is misleading. In short, what is titled "Ontario Court of Justice Traffic Ticket Tutorial" is a link to a Road Warriors Paralegal Services Inc page titled "Tutorial - Fight Speeding or Traffic Tickets in Ontario Provincial Offences Court". While not an ad, a charge that hasn't been made, the page advises the visitor to "seek the advice of a paralegal or law firm" and provides a link to the various services offered by Road Warriors Paralegal Services Inc. The inclusion of the link runs counter to external link guidelines, specifically links normally to be avoided: as a site " that primarily exist[s] to sell products or services", and as a site that is "only indirectly related to the article's subject". Again, the subject of this article is the Ontario Court of Justice - moreover, it features no mention of traffic tickets. Victoriagirl 17:10, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The Ontario Court of Justice is a creation under the Ontario Courts of Justice Act, R.S.O. c. C-43 (and is a continuation of the former Ontario Court (Prov. Div.) as per the Act). However, at least since the Courts of Justice Act has come into force, there is no such thing as the 'Court of Ontario', and the Court of Justice is not a 'division' of such an entity. Although all three Ontario Courts (Court of Justice, Superior Court of Justice, and Court of Appeal) are created under the same Act, they are three seperate entities. I have therefore removed the reference to the court being a "division of the Court of Ontario."142.108.145.91 (talk) 21:19, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, there is a Court of Ontario. Read the Ontario Courts of Justice Act closely, particularly section 10. See discussion at Talk:Ontario Superior Court of Justice. --Mathew5000 (talk) 09:57, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
