Defending Commercial Vehicle Operator Registration (CVOR) Charges
Ownership and operation of commercial trucks that exceed 4,500 kilograms in weight mandate compliance with the necessary registration process, termed Commercial Vehicle Operator's Registration (CVOR). Owners and operators of commercial trucks may, in addition to charges filed against the driver, be subject to separate legal actions for breaches of the Highway Traffic Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, and other statutes that are applicable to users of roadways.
Common Issues
Typical CVOR concerns include vehicle fitness, overloading, insecure loadings, lackings within logbooks, improper or expiry of licensing, among other things, and all as additional to the charges against the commercial vehicle driver. Charges against a CVOR may be laid by a police officer or an Ontario Ministry of Transportation ("MTO") officer for prosecution within the Ontario Court of Justice per the court rules and procedures prescribed within the Provincial Offences Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.33, including the regulations thereto.
