Leave to appeal granted to determine guidelines for institutional delay in Provincial Offences Act prosecutions.
The Crown sought leave to appeal a decision affirming a stay of proceedings for a speeding charge due to a violation of the respondent's right to be tried within a reasonable time under s. 11(b) of the Charter.
The Court of Appeal granted leave, finding that the proposed appeal raised serious and important questions of law regarding the appropriate guidelines for intake and institutional delay in the prosecution of Part I Provincial Offences Act offences.
