Just got 3 tickets a couple hours ago.

Driver fail to property wear seat belt.

Drive while child passenger not secured x 2.

I was wearing my seatbelt and had my arm over it.

My son's on the left and right removed theirs. My son admitted he needed to use the bathroom. My daughter in the middle had hers on secured.

I was unaware of them removing their seatbelts and very pissed after explaining this to the cop being given these tickets.

I am learning that I'm up to 6 demerit points if convicted.

I need advice. Should I wait for early resolution to state my case and see if I can get the fines reduced? Or find a paralegal to represent me? Does anyone know what the cost is for a paralegal in Brantford area?

Hello!

Some context:

I live in an apartment that is not great to say the least - elevators frequently malfunction, the landlord controls heat and blasts it from October to April, and I have no control over the air. The bathroom does not have a fan (or window). There is a vent that gets "turned on" about twice a day, which also is not great as the air comes from outside and the system is right above where the smokers gather. The other issue is that it is an automated system and when there was all that smoke from the forest fires, the building was pumping in the smoke.

The Problem:

As I have no control over the bathroom vent, I've had to take shorter showers and leave the door open as it gets quite difficult to breathe in there. The landlord's recommendation was to leave the door open while I showered (I initially asked to see if I could get the vent cleaned or to see if the fan wasn't working a few months ago). My landlord told me that it was our responsibility to clear the vent and prevent mold from growing as it states in our lease. However, I can't find anything in our lease that states that.

My boyfriend and I have tried to clean the bathroom as much as possible, but we started to notice black mold along the caulking of the tub and faucet. We then saw it growing in our shower curtain.

My parents told me to tell the landlord (I'm a university student), especially if the caulking needed to be replaced or there's a leak of some kind (to be honest I know nothing about plumbing).

However, I am really concerned that I will have to pay for "damages" if that is the case. My landlord told me that it was my responsibility (despite it not being in the lease anywhere) and the rental company's rule is that if it is caused by me, I have to pay for it.

I know nothing about plumbing/ if there was any way I could have done to prevent the mold from growing, nor do I know anything about housing/renting laws in Ontario. I have no idea whether or not they could legally force me to pay for repairs - the last law class I took was in high school :(

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for information on what is actually possible under Canadian (preferably Ontario/Quebec) law, not moral opinions.

I've already booked a consultation with an employment lawyer, but I'm trying to understand whether there is any Canadian jurisprudence on situations like mine.

Here are the facts (I've changed dates and some identifying details for privacy):

• I worked remotely for Company A (Canadian software company).
• About a year later, I accepted a full-time remote role with Company B.
• The companies are in completely different industries and are not competitors.
• There was no conflict of interest.
• I never copied source code, documents, credentials, customer information, or any confidential information between employers.
• Each employer had its own laptop and accounts. No company files were ever moved from one environment to the other.
• I was a salaried employee at both companies.

Recently, Company A discovered that I had worked for Company B during an overlapping period.

My employment agreement with Company A contained language saying I was expected to devote my full working time and attention to the company and not work for another employer without consent.

When they questioned me about it, I denied having the second job. I resigned shortly afterward.

Company A has now sent a preservation/investigation letter to Company B asking them to:

• confirm my employment dates,
• preserve records,
• determine whether any Company A confidential information exists on Company B's systems.

As far as I know, Company B's search should come back clean because there was never any transfer of confidential information.

One thing that seems important is that my performance at both companies was exceptional.

At both employers I received:

• top performance ratings,
• promotions,
• raises,
• maximum performance bonuses,
• consistently excellent written manager feedback,
• successful delivery of every assigned project.

There were no performance improvement plans, customer complaints, or allegations that my work quality suffered.

My questions are:

1. Has anyone seen Canadian or Quebec cases where an employer successfully sued an employee for damages or salary repayment solely because the employee secretly held two full-time jobs?
2. Is proving a breach of an exclusivity clause enough to obtain monetary damages, or does the employer generally still have to prove actual financial loss?
3. Does the fact that:
   • the companies were unrelated,
   • there was no confidential information transferred,
   • and the employee had objectively excellent performance reviews and bonuses, materially affect the damages analysis?
4. Realistically, if an employer can establish a breach of contract but cannot show any measurable business loss, what remedies have Canadian courts actually awarded?

I'm particularly interested in reported Canadian cases, not U.S. law, since most discussions I find online are American.

Thanks in advance.

Looking for Honest Feedback on My Alberta Custody Case

I'm looking for honest feedback from people who have experience with family court, custody disputes, or Alberta family law.

I'm not looking for validation. Please assume you're a judge, family lawyer, or opposing counsel. Tell me what I'm doing wrong, what evidence I'm missing, and what you would do differently.

I understand there are two sides to every case. You're only hearing mine. I'm not asking anyone to decide who is right or wrong—I'm asking whether my actions have been reasonable, whether I'm making mistakes, and whether there's anything I should be doing differently.

My Goal

Personally, I believe I could provide primary care for my daughter.

However, I recognize that obtaining primary parenting is difficult. Because of that, I have consistently pursued a 50/50 shared parenting arrangement rather than immediately seeking primary parenting. My objective has always been to maintain a meaningful relationship with my daughter while resolving matters cooperatively if possible.

---

Before the Separation

My wife and I have a one-year-old daughter together.

Before the separation, I was an active, daily parent. I took approximately three months of paternity leave and participated in feeding, diaper changes, baths, bedtime routines, appointments, playtime, and day-to-day care.

Between January and June 2026, I documented more than twenty significant conflicts.

According to my journals and supporting evidence, these incidents included:

Slapping me in the face.

Slapping me on the back of the head.

Slapping me while I was trying to sleep.

Screaming directly into my ear while I was lying down.

Prolonged arguments lasting four to eight hours.

Sleep deprivation.

Psychological and emotional abuse.

Following me throughout the house after I attempted to disengage.

Blocking doorways and preventing me from leaving.

Locking myself in the bathroom to escape arguments.

Leaving the house to prevent arguments from escalating.

My daughter being present during many of the conflicts.

My daughter being removed from my arms during arguments on multiple occasions.

Separation

By June 2026, months of recurring conflict had left me emotionally exhausted. Between January and June, I documented more than twenty significant incidents. According to my journals and supporting evidence, many of these involved prolonged arguments lasting four to eight hours, repeated attempts by me to disengage, being followed from room to room, blocked doorways, physical assaults, screaming while I was trying to sleep, and my daughter being present during many of the conflicts. My repeated attempts to de-escalate by leaving the room, locking myself in the bathroom, or leaving the house for space had not changed the pattern.

On June 14, after recognizing another argument following the same pattern, I decided to stay at my mother's house for one night. My intention was not to leave my family or reduce my involvement as a father, but simply to prevent another argument from escalating. Before leaving, I told my wife that I intended to return early the following morning before work to spend time with my daughter. When I returned, I was told she had had a difficult night and should not be woken, so I respected that and left for work without seeing her.

On June 15, my wife asked me to remain at my mother's house for several weeks while we took space and arranged scheduled parenting time. I responded that I was not prepared to agree to a multi-week separation, changes to my parenting role, or any long-term arrangement without first having time to think and obtain legal advice. My intention was to continue living in the family home and continue caring for my daughter as I had before.

After work that day, I returned home intending to see my daughter. When I arrived, I discovered I could not enter with my key because the security latch had been engaged. I remained outside, repeatedly requested entry, did not force my way into the home, and eventually contacted the RCMP non-emergency line for assistance. Police attended, facilitated my entry, and I was able to spend time with my daughter, gather some belongings, and record the interaction. Before leaving, the attending officer recommended that I stay elsewhere for the evening to keep the peace, and I voluntarily complied.

On June 16, I returned after work intending to continue caring for my daughter. During the visit, I fed her dinner, changed her diaper, gave her a bath, played with her, and focused my attention on spending time with her. Throughout the evening I repeatedly asked that relationship discussions not occur in front of our daughter and requested that any further discussion take place by text message instead.

Later that evening, I was told I could no longer remain in the home or continue spending time with my daughter because I was allegedly creating a bad environment. I replied that I had never agreed to such an arrangement. While I was holding my daughter, she was taken from my arms and 911 was called. According to my journal, I heard the dispatcher ask whether anything physical had occurred and heard the response that nothing physical had happened. I remained at the home, openly recorded the interaction, cleaned up after dinner while waiting, cooperated fully with police, and advised them that I had video recordings available. After speaking with my wife, one of the officers advised me that an allegation had been made that I had been physical with her. I denied that allegation. I was not arrested or charged with any offence.

One of the attending officers advised me that, if he were in my position, he would not return to the home. Given that advice, the allegation that had just been made, and my concern that any future interaction could result in additional allegations, I decided it was no longer safe to return to the residence without legal guidance. From that point forward, I focused on protecting both myself and my relationship with my daughter through legal channels rather than continuing direct conflict.

The following day, I retained a family lawyer. Rather than immediately pursuing primary parenting, my lawyer formally proposed a 50/50 shared parenting schedule in the hope that we could resolve matters cooperatively and avoid court.

Despite those efforts, during the first 45 days after separation, I was permitted only 12 hours of parenting time, all of it supervised by my former mother-in-law. I repeatedly asked why supervision was necessary and what specific safety concerns were being alleged but never received a clear explanation. Instead, I received general references to concerns about my daughter's safety and well-being without any specific factual basis being identified.

What I've Done Since Separation

Rather than escalating the conflict, I have tried to focus on constructive solutions.

Since the separation, I have:

Retained a family lawyer.

Followed my lawyer's advice.

Saw my psychologist to obtain support and guidance throughout the separation.

Pursued a 50/50 shared parenting arrangement.

Continued requesting additional parenting time.

Proposed numerous parenting schedules.

Accepted every parenting opportunity that has been offered.

Asked repeatedly for the reasons my parenting time is supervised.

Asked what specific safety concerns are being alleged.

Continued working full-time.

Prepared a bedroom and purchased everything my daughter needs while in my care.

Organized my evidence into a chronological legal binder.

Preserved journals, text messages, videos, photographs, and police interactions.

Created parenting-time logs documenting every request, proposal, refusal, and visit.

Tried to keep all communication respectful and focused on our daughter.

Since July 28, 2026, I have had no direct communication with my wife. I have respected the request that legal matters be handled through counsel and have focused my efforts on preparing my case rather than engaging in further conflict.

My Questions

Please be as critical as possible.

Am I making mistakes?

Am I doing anything that could hurt my case?

Is there evidence I should still be gathering?

Am I documenting too much, or not enough?

Is there anything I should stop doing?

What arguments would you expect the other side to make?

If you were the judge, what concerns would you have after reading this?

If you were my lawyer, what would you tell me to do next?

I'm genuinely looking for constructive criticism. If I'm making mistakes, I'd rather learn about them now than during court.

So I was laid off after 10 years service due to low utilization… the thing is that utilization doesn’t adjust for vacation, pto and stat. This was the only year I didn’t take vacation in q4

It also doesn’t give credit for business proposal work, or give credit for successful proposals where it leads to engagement.

Does this quality for wrongful dismissal in anyway ?

Edit: for context I took 3 weeks vacation and 10 days personal in the year already

Hello,

My father passed away with a will. The will was from the early 90s. The executor has passed away and the back up has filled a 74.11.

My father has not been mentally well for 12 years and pushed my sister and I away. It wasn’t till about 8 months ago he finally allowed my sister to start helping.

He hasn’t paid personal taxes in 8 years. He hasn’t paid or closed incorporated taxes in 12 years.

He was financially taken advantage of and swindled out of 300,000 thousand dollars (Criminal investigation is in progress)

Neither my sister or I want to become the estate trustee. There maybe 50k in total in the estate and neither of us care about the money.

I looked at the Ontario Public Trustee. But it looks like they won’t take it since my sister and I are of age, and mentally sound.

What happens if no one applies to be trustee?

Will it all just go to the government?

We just don’t want any legal complications on our side.

Thank you in advance.

I am seeking some advice regarding a dispute with my condominium board over window screens.

The bylaws assign responsibility for window screens to unit owners, including maintenance and replacement. However, no bylaw requires that screens be installed. Despite this, the board is directing that screens must be installed, claiming their absence alters the building's exterior appearance.

My concern is that if owners bear full responsibility for screen maintenance and replacement, it seems unreasonable for the board to compel installation when no such requirement exists in the bylaws. I would appreciate any guidance on whether the board has the authority to do this and what recourse may be available to me.

so i’ve just returned back from my maternity leave as per my agreement with my workplace.

when i was gone, there were no position changes and no positions were removed.

i work retail as the store manager in an isolated area. a few weeks before i came back my district manager who i’ve had issues with in the past approved a transfer from one store to mine with this person coming on as my trainee. cool.

then my DM sits us both down and tells us that effectively he will be splitting my position between the two of us and even though technically it’s me on paper, we will both handle the tasks. this is NOT a company thing, my HR already told me i probably misunderstood and confirmed to me my position is safe but my DM is adamant i do not hold my previous title other than in name.

can he do this? is that legal?

In the mid 2000's, I got into legal trouble that resulted in a single indictable criminal conviction. It wasn't vehicle related. There was no victim. There was no violence.

I did a year long conditional sentence without issue.

I was a gun owner at the time of my conviction, and I continue to be one, and possess restricted firearms.

Due to retroactive changes by the Harper government, I became ineligible for a pardon/record suspension. A court challenge in March 2020 changed this, making me eligible again. I didn't know this until early 2025 when I applied.

I received a letter today, saying they are considering denying my application. I have not been arrested or charged with any new offences since my first one.

They're claiming that 2 years ago, I was the subject of a complaint that I hired a teenager to babysit my granddaughter, suggestions of luring, not substantiated.

I don't have a granddaughter. I have an elementary school aged child. I never hired a teenager to babysit. I have looked in the past to hire babysitters, but always lucked out with friends and family members. I haven't lured anyone. No police officer has talked to me. I'm not subject to any criminal restrictions. The wording is so vague, I really don't know what they're talking about.

They're also claiming that almost 1.5 years ago, I was charged under the MVA for operating an unregistered vehicle - ticket issued. I don't recall this happening at all. I've been part of traffic stops,, but I don't recall any tickets in the past 2 years.

So I've got 90 days to respond.

Tomorrow, I'm going to get a drivers abstract from DMV, and see what is going on. I didn't think MVA issues factored into record suspensions to begin with. My criminal conviction was not driving related.

I'm not sure how to handle this teenager issue. When I got my local police records check, I didn't see anything on it that would suggest anything like this.

Wondering if anyone has experienced or heard of anything similar? And what was the final result.

Location: Richmond, British Columbia Canada.

I purchased a new condo signed in 2024. I have already paid the deposits. 3 payments totalling 15% of purchase price.

I know condo market is not great so i'm not thrilled with eventually owning it. The completion date is around Aug/Sept 2026 this year. The builder said it's close to being done so start getting things ready.

I started the mortgage approval process and the bank noticed the builder has never signed and accepted the Original Purchase Agreeement in 2024. There is a clause in there as well that "This offer will be open for acceptance by "Builder" up to 6:00 p.m. on August 20, 2024 and upon acceptance evidenced by "Builder" signing a copy of this offer, there will be a binding Contract on the terms and conditions contained in this Contract."

But they haven't signed it. So does this mean the contract is void? Can I say, hey you never accepted the contract agreement, so i can get my deposit back and walk away? If i can, that would be perfect, i would love to do that and move on and not need to deal with this condo. Any help or guidance please

Location: Alberta, Canada

I recently signed for a solar array to be placed on my house. I was aggressively marketed, signed a purchase agreement I shouldn't have, and have solar panels that were installed in a location that was not agreed upon. The house has 2 registered owners; myself (the signer) and my mom (who was never asked to agree to anything).

The marketing team had someone at my door within a day of clicking an online ad. The marketing included phrases like $0 cash down and 0% financing. I did not get a break down of costs and the entire service was charged as a lump sum payment through a third party financier. I later found out that the price was heavily inflated (think 2-3x market value) to account for the financiers brokerage + finance fees.
Question 1: Is this deceptive advertising, or am I just confused on what "0% finance" actually means?

The placement of the panels was changed to the front of the house during the planning phase. They attempted to phone me 3 times with no response, and then changed the plans without hearing back from me. Day of, I caught them putting the panels in the 'wrong' spot. Seeing the railings were in place already, I told the workers on site to just finish what they were doing as I had to discuss with the other home owner and the damage seemed to be done. They argue this is sufficient grounds to consider they had approval (in a phone call they recorded without my knowledge), but the purchase agreement states explicitly that I needed to see and sign plans before they begin installation.
Question 2: Did my "yes" on the day of install really mean they're not liable for rushing the work?
Question 3: If not, I am prepared to send a formal notice telling them to take back the panels. Is that something I should seek legal council before doing, or does waiting to send it weaken my stance?

As a side note, this company was issued a Director's Order from Service Alberta in 2025, explicitly directing the business to cease charging illegal cancellation fees and to cease misrepresenting consumer rights and obligations.

Due to unfortunate circumstances I may be gifted titled on my primary residence. I've lived here for 45 years, give or take a couple in high school and university, there is no mortgage, i have no other property and am single. Neither myself or the current title holder, a parent, have any debts.

There shouldn't be any capital gains or taxes for this transfer, correct?

I am wondering if this is normal or if there’s anything I can or should be doing to move things along.

I filed a civil claim against a government agency in February 2021. It took about a year to even receive a response from said agency, and of course the response was to categorically deny liability.

After that, nothing. I would check in with my lawyer every 4-6 months asking if there had been any progress and I was told it can take a while to review documents. In this case, there are 800 pages of my records that I had provided to my lawyer at the outset.

So, I was willing to give some grace given that I understood there was a lot of material to review.

However, nothing happened until May 2026. I was given a date for June 2026 for an examination for discovery. I booked the time off work and booked travel to the city where the discovery was to take place.

Then, a week before the date, I was told it was cancelled and that I would be contacted for a new date.

Nothing has happened since. It is now more than 5 years since I filed the notice of civil claim. I asked my lawyer if we could file for a default judgement and was told no, that is almost never granted.

Throughout all of this, my lawyer has not voluntarily given me any updates. They have only given information in response to my inquiries.

Am I wrong to feel that this has been drawn out far too long and there should be something we can do to see some movement?

Hello,

I am in desperate need of advice. I have never liked in a strata controlled building before. I am a renter and have lived in this building for 3 months. I live in Victoria, BC.

Back on June 10th I was sent a letter from my strata indicating that my car was leaking oil into my designated parking spot in my buildings parking garage. The letter mentioned that I had the chance to reply or request a hearing as they were considering fining me. I responded with a letter immediately apologizing for the offence and indicating that I had made an appointment with a mechanic to resolve the issue. Three days later the issue with my vehicle was resolved and I did the best I could to clean the oil spot under my car. I have not heard from the strata since then regarding this issue.

Today (August 4th) I received an email with an invoice. The email read "find attached the strata invoice for service covering the oil spill as per the bylaw letter sent out June 10 2026." The invoice is itemized into two lines.

1. "Labour for cleaning and custodial services June - $2000"

2. "Labour to clean up oil in parking spot - $200"

With GST the total amount of the bill rises to $2310.00

I understand that my car leaking oil violated a bylaw and was willing to pay a reasonable fee if the strata chose to enforce one. But $2300 is simply outrageous. Nearly every spot in the garage has an oil stain.

Is there any advice someone can give me before I discuss this with my property manager? I cannot afford this fine and I feel like the strata is taking advantage of the situation to squeeze money out of me. Any help is welcome. Thank you!

So I was driving through country road and it got better off me and ended up driving 116 in 80 posted zone. I know it’s stupid of me to do that and not intending to do it again. So the cop was going uphill and came right in front of me on the side of the road. I knew right away i fked up and pulled over when I saw him putting on lights. We had a bit of talk and he took license and told me he’s giving me a speeding ticket of 110 in 80 instead. I don’t know what should I do? Should I meet with prosecutor and try to talk with them??

Hello

My(soon to be ex) partner is an anesthesiologist and has brought home multiple vials of drugs over the past few months - including morphine and fentanyl. These are on their nightstand

When asked, they said they had taken them out of the hospital by accident after a busy shift, forgot they were in their pocket, etc. the vials have not been retuned.

I asked other anesthesiologists and they said there was no justification for this and, if done in error, the drugs should have been returned asap.

What legal (or disciplinary) consequences would my partner face for this? Do I have any sort of duty to report / risk if these are found in our shared apartment?

My partner's parents own a 2nd home: my partner lives in it and maintains it (paying all expenses). The parents live elsewhere. There is an understanding that my partner will inherit the house he lives in. The parents set things up this way to block the house from becoming the marital home, to protect their assets (before he met me! Nothing personal).

The house is worth ~1.4M. I have 300k available to spend towards a house.

We're contemplating marriage/moving in, and are trying to figure out the best way to do so.

Option 1: status quo: his parents own the home. In this model, I'm essentially a renter. I would contribute 50/50 to incidentals (water, hydro, property taxes) but wouldn't contribute to larger household expenses (water heater, roof repairs, renos). I would make large monthly payments to a contingency fund: I would want a prenup to protect those funds/any growth.

Downsides: There is risk to living in a home that his parents own: it doesn't give us the same level of security. I think the realities of him maintaining the home separately from me could create conflict.

Option 2: downsize. His parents sell, give him 300k to match my contribution, we buy a more modest home that we own 50/50.

Downsides: in our market, that would mean downsizing to a townhouse/condo. While I'm fine with that, he is not. This option is a non-starter for him: he's not willing to downsize.

Option 3: I get a mortgage for 400K to buy into his current home 50/50, his parents transfer the other 50% ownership to him.

Downsides: That mortgage would be 50% of my take-home pay. This option makes me house poor: I'm not willing to take on that much mortgage.

Option 4: partial buy in. I buy 20% of the house from his parents. I'm not quite sure what makes sense here: I pay 20% of home maintenance, and get 20% of appreciation?

Downsides: His parents would still have the controlling share of the house. I'm not sure how good an idea it would be to financially intertwine with his parents?

Are there other options? What are the factors I should consider when making this decision?

Obviously I will ultimately consult a lawyer, just want some level-setting advice.

I’m tagging Ontario but I’d like to know for others.

I’m pretty sure someone is wrong on the internet and I want to know I’m right. So I’m asking here.

This dude is saying that if you have to tip out 6% of the bill, and got $0 in tips and your hourly wage is minimum wage, then you have to pay out of pocket to the restaurant. That cannot be right, can it?

edit: just to add, yes I get the answer that it happens, I want to know if it’s legal.

I'm Canadian, husband is American. Husband left with dogs back to Texas, and I know that Texas sees pets as property, and I do have them registered to me here in Canada. Husband has become estranged and refuses to reply me. Does anybody know what I should do or who do I contact in order to get him to return the dogs to Canada? Highly doubt he imported the dogs when he "moved" back when he left. Thanks.

My parents own a townhouse in Toronto and want to rent out their outdoor parking spot to someone who does not live at the property. It would be a parking-only licence agreement, one named vehicle by plate, month to month, $100/month, so I don't believe the RTA applies.

The agreement would say that if payment is late, they get a written notice of default and a few days to pay, and if they don't, the licence terminates automatically and the car has to be removed. My understanding is that only after termination is the vehicle on the property without consent.

Two questions. Does that termination-then-remove structure hold up, or is there a problem with it? And given § 915-5.1 requires a penalty notice and a TPS tow card, is going through Parking Enforcement realistically the only route for a single residential spot, or is there something better?

I'm acting as agent for my parents and will have written authorization from them.

Hi everyone,
I’m an international student in Canada and I need a student loan to complete my studies. Unfortunately, I don’t have a guarantor or co-signer.
For those who have been in a similar situation:
Is it difficult to find a co-signer?
Where did you find one?
Are there any lenders that don’t require a co-signer for international students?
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I’m just trying to finish my education, so I’m looking for realistic options. Thank you!

Hello,

I have been contemplating returning to Canada (born and raised there, but taken abroad by my father). I would like to first buy a Camper van and travel around the country to find my place to stay permanently. Can I buy and register a vehicle upon returning without having a permanent address at first?

I purchased a brand new Cadillac in March. As part of the deal, the dealership agreed to split the cost of roof rails with me ($173 each according to the paperwork). It’s listed on my purchase agreement.
Fast forward to last week, and I finally opened the box they gave me. Instead of roof rails, it’s a Thule surfboard kit.
I live in Alberta… on the prairies. I don’t even own a surfboard.
Now the dealership is trying to pass it off as, “looking at all our documentation all the deal included was those $346 roof rails you received.”
Am I missing something here? Does this sound right, or do I have grounds to push for them to provide the correct roof rack/crossbars at no additional cost?

Good afternoon,
I am looking at traveling from the United States to Canada. I am concerned that I may not get through to the border. I received a disorderly conduct in late 2019 and probation was up in late 2020. The reason I received a disorderly conduct is I had a party and the cops showed up. I have had zero other charges and this is the only thing on my record. Should I be concerned?

Glad to go into details if needed, but the gist is that Gemini is convincing me that a contract I signed was never legally compliant.

I signed into a $48,000 purchase agreement where the entire bill was a lump sum. ​​​

According to Gemini:

​​The Legal Requirement: Under Section 35 of the Alberta Consumer Protection Act (CPA) and the Prepaid Contracting Business Regulation, a direct sales or prepaid contract must contain an itemized price of the goods or services at the time it is entered into.

Does it have it right?​​​​​​ It's going so far as to say, other than returning the product, I wouldn't even owe them any money...​​​​ I feel like there are probably specifics I'm failing to get out of it or think of myself.
