Traffic tickets, driver’s licences, regulatory offences — a defence tailored to every situation.
Penal law under the Highway Safety Code
The Highway Safety Code provides for sanctions that can affect your mobility, your job, and often your overall balance in life. At Lacroix Tarabay Légal, our team supports individuals facing penalties related to driving their vehicle, offering a thorough review of their file and strategies tailored to each particular situation.
Tickets and suspensions: asserting your rights
Whether it involves a contested traffic ticket, an imposed licence suspension, or any other difficulty related to driving a vehicle, a defence lawyer can always help you counter the consequences of an arrest.
Demerit points: preserving your driving record
When the accumulation of demerit points reaches a worrying threshold, it becomes essential to act quickly: our team develops a personalized strategy with each client to limit the impact of these points and preserve the ongoing right to drive.
Restricted licence: navigating imposed conditions
If your right to drive has been suspended, it may be possible to obtain a licence with certain restrictions. We help our clients understand the conditions imposed on them.
Vehicle seizure: exploring your options
Vehicle seizure, a frequent consequence of certain traffic offences, puts the owner in a situation where speed and rigour become essential.
Setting aside a default judgment: obtaining a fair review
A default judgment is not necessarily final. Our team conducts a thorough review of the circumstances surrounding such a decision and, where warranted, files a motion to set the judgment aside.
Penal law under the Consumer Protection Act
The relationship between a merchant and a consumer is inherently unbalanced — an imbalance the Québec legislator sought to address through the Consumer Protection Act. The team at Lacroix Tarabay Légal supports merchants who believe that fines are excessive and/or unfounded.
Prohibited business practices and misleading advertising
Certain solicitation or sales methods cross the line of what is legally permitted: false claims about a product’s characteristics, silence on an important fact, or creating a false impression about the price or terms of an offer.
Credit contracts and instalment sales
Financing agreements are subject to particularly strict form and disclosure requirements. Omitting a mandatory disclosure can lead to the contract being cancelled.
Door-to-door sales and home solicitation
Consumers solicited at home benefit from enhanced protections, including the cancellation period available to them to withdraw from a commitment made hastily.
Legal warranties and defective goods
Beyond conventional warranties, the law imposes basic warranties that protect consumers against hidden defects. A merchant who refuses to honour these legal warranties is exposed to legal action.
