The applicant was convicted of speeding after mailing a notice of intention to appear that was received after the 15-day period stipulated on the Offence Notice.
The applicant sought leave to appeal, arguing that under Rule 4 of Regulation 200, the calculation of time meant his notice was filed on time, and that the Offence Notice failed to comply with the Provincial Offences Act by not specifying the manner of delivery.
The Court of Appeal granted leave to appeal on these two grounds, finding they raised questions of law of general application concerning the calculation of time limits and the sufficiency of prescribed forms.
