The appellant appealed his conviction for knowingly making a false or misleading statement to obtain payment for chiropractic services in violation of section 447(2)(a.3) of the Insurance Act.
The appellant challenged the conviction on multiple grounds: that the information was laid outside the limitation period under section 449 of the Insurance Act; that section 449 was unconstitutional as violating sections 7 and 11(d) of the Charter; and that his right to trial within a reasonable time under section 11(b) of the Charter was violated.
The appellant also appealed his sentence of a $10,000 fine, 12 months' probation, and $175 restitution.
The court dismissed all grounds of appeal, finding that the information was properly laid within the limitation period, that section 449 was neither vague nor overbroad and did not engage Charter protections, and that the delay was reasonable under the Jordan framework.
The sentence was found to be fit.
