From The Star:
“According to the judge’s decisions, Mocanu or an associate paralegal would enter a guilty plea to the HTA offence, or a lesser charge. Shortly after, they would file an appeal that stated their client was not guilty or wanted a new trial, or that vaguely asserted the reasons for the appeal would be revealed by transcripts of the court proceedings. However, transcripts were never filed as part of the appeals.
Provincial regulations mandate that convictions and demerit points aren’t recorded on driving records until a conviction is “sustained on appeal.” So as long as the appeals were before the courts Mocanu’s clients wouldn’t face penalties.
