A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE – For anyone who was at the “Ottawa Protest” I recommend that you lawyerup with a criminal defence lawyer. For anyone who was there with a truck, just because you left doesn’t mean that the police won’t confiscate your rig, possibly when they come to serve you with criminal charges. For anyone who had kids there you may want to speak with a family law lawyer to get advice on what to do if the Children’s Aid Society calls.

JUST A REMINDER THAT DRINKING AND DRIVING OFFENCES SPEAK IN TERMS OF A “CONVEYANCE” – the definition of which is: “a motor vehicle, a vessel, an aircraft or railway equipment”. This includes any vehicle that is motorized to any degree in any way and a vessel does not have to be motorized.

  • Credit also has to be given to JAMES LOCKYER for his tireless advocacy over many years to bring this to fruition.
  • Lawyers in England are refusing to represent some people because their legal aid system is insufficient to maintain a viable practice. The legal aid system in Ontario is similarly perpetually on the brink.
  • Since 1982 accused persons have had the right to a trial within a reasonable time. We’ve had the Askov, Morin and now the Jordan cases of the Supreme Court of Canada trying to ensure that right, with only limited success. So now the courts are stacking cases on top of other cases on their daily trial lists that have no possibility of being reached for trial on that date.
  • JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED – Every person charged with a criminal offence has the constitutional right to have their trial held within a reasonable time. Our Supreme Court has twice attempted to define what is reasonable through the cases of Askov and Jordan. The result has been decades of hundreds of cases being “stayed” from proceeding due to delay and further delays caused by the complex application procedures required to assert that right. Nothing has changed. Simply demanding that the trial process proceed expeditiously doesn’t work.
  • WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR BAIL SYSTEM? – The federal government enacts the criminal code. The province applies it. The province builds and owns the courts. The province hires the Judges, the Justices of the Peace, the Crown Attorneys and court staff.
