Following the offender's conviction for procuring and exercising control over a prostitute, the court ordered a Pre-Sentence Report.

Quebec probation services requested a lengthy extension and communicated in French.

The court accommodated the delay by rescheduling the sentencing hearing but issued an endorsement ordering that the report be filed by the extended deadline and in English, as the trial was conducted in English.

The applicant sought a review of her detention order under s. 520 of the Criminal Code.

She was charged with three counts of robbery with a firearm, which carries a reverse onus for bail.

The applicant proposed a new surety plan involving two friends.

The court found the proposed sureties to be unreliable and ineffective, noting the seriousness of the charges and the applicant's alleged attempts to mislead police.

The application for release was dismissed.

The applicant, charged with importing cocaine, sought release on bail pending trial.

He lacked a suitable surety and proposed to act as his own surety through the Bail Program, while living with and working for a friend.

The court dismissed the application, finding the applicant failed to demonstrate on a balance of probabilities that his release was justified on the primary grounds, as he lacked meaningful roots in the community and the proposed employment and residence were not reliably confirmed.

The dismissal was without prejudice to returning with the friend to confirm the offers.

The defendant successfully moved for summary judgment dismissing the plaintiff's wrongful dismissal action as statute-barred.

The defendant sought costs of $37,462 on a partial indemnity basis.

The plaintiff, acting in person, failed to provide costs submissions despite extensions.

The court found the defendant's requested costs excessive given the motion's brevity and lack of complexity.

Applying Rule 57.01, the court fixed the defendant's costs at $24,196 inclusive of disbursements.
