Line 3 on your paper · Newmarket · York Region
Your paper says Newmarket.
That's the Newmarket Courthouse at 50 Eagle Street West. It is not the courthouse in Richmond Hill. Here is the Newmarket paper, marked up for this building: which room, which time, and the trip without a licence.
Line by line, for Eagle Street
Not Richmond Hill. Eagle Street West.
- Courthouse50 Eagle St. W.
- The Newmarket Courthouse, 50 Eagle St. W., Newmarket, L3Y 6B1. The Ontario Court of Justice hears criminal cases here. The same building also lists family, civil and divisional court, so not everyone in the lobby is there for a criminal date.
- The other building855 Major Mackenzie
- If you were stopped in Richmond Hill, you might head for the courthouse there. Ontario lists 855 Major Mackenzie Drive East for small claims only, so an impaired charge is not heard there. Go by the courthouse printed on your paper.
- Courtroom201
- Adult criminal case management sits in Courtroom 201, Monday to Friday. Matters with a lawyer are called at 9:00 a.m. People without a lawyer, and some lawyers' matters, are called from 10:45 a.m. Be there for the time on your paper. Checked October 21, 2026, on the Ontario Court of Justice Newmarket page. Rooms change; check it the day before.
- Fingerprintsa second date and place
- Not at Eagle Street. Most often it's a police station, on a day of its own. Skipping it is a separate offence. What the fingerprint line means
- Charge320.14 or 320.15
- Look for the number after "s." Under 320.14 sit impaired operation (a) and over 80 (b); 320.15 means a refusal. Papers from one stop often carry two of them. 320.14(1)(a), impaired · 320.14(1)(b), over 80 · 320.15, refusal
- Conditionsif you signed an undertaking
- Any conditions you agreed to are written on it.
Getting to 50 Eagle Street West
Newmarket from the south, without a licence.
- Leave a margin.Coming up from Vaughan or Markham takes a while. Time it the evening before.
- Not behind the wheel.Your licence has been suspended since the roadside, and driving to court on it would add a fresh charge. Your paper says 90 days
Line 2 · the first morning
A first appearance in Newmarket, usually.
You won't be asked what happened that night. Guilt usually isn't touched on the first date.
- Bring the whole pile.All the papers you were given.
- Courtroom 201.Match your name on the posted lists. Duty counsel can help people without a lawyer.
- Disclosure.The Crown's evidence, called disclosure, usually begins to come through around now.

The rest of the pile
Eagle Street is one date. The other papers keep their own.
Your licence and the car don't wait for Courtroom 201. Each started its own count at the roadside.
Eagle Street answers
What York Region asks about Newmarket.
What time should I be in Courtroom 201?
Your paper's time is the one to keep. When this page was checked against the court's page on October 21, 2026, Courtroom 201 took matters with a lawyer at 9:00 a.m. and people without a lawyer from 10:45 a.m. Rooms and times change, so check the court's page first.
Can my Newmarket date be done on Zoom?
Yes, in some cases. The Newmarket page of the Ontario Court of Justice carries the Zoom details and a Courtroom 201 sign-up sheet for lawyers. Ask on the call whether that route fits your first date.
What are the Newmarket courthouse hours?
Ontario lists the court office as open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The counter is open 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. on weekdays. Checked October 21, 2026.
