Impaired Driving
R v. O.M
Charge: Impaired & Refuse Blood Demand
Result: The matter proceeded to trial, however, was resolved midway with a plea to Leave Roadway Not in Safety pursuant to the Highway Traffic Act. This was due to legal issues surrounding an egregious breach of Rights to Counsel and the Right to Re-Consult a Lawyer.
R v P.M
Charge: Care or Control & Over 80
Result: Client was found intoxicated in the sleeper cabin of the tractor trailer. This matter proceeded to trial.

The court found our client not guilty; the charges were DISMISSED.
Assault
R v. J.G
Charge: Multiple historic assaults in a domestic context
Result: This case was set for trial. However, the trial dates were set so far into the future, coupled with a significant amount of delay in case management allowed for an argument to be made that the client’s s.11(b) Charter Right had been breached. An 11(b) Application was filed and argued. The court held that our client’s Charter Right had been violated and the charges were STAYED.
R v. S.S
