    Supreme Court takes on more cases than in recent years, reversing trend (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Supreme Court of Canada is busier than it has been since the late 2010s, an increased workload that comes after criticism that the top court was not producing enough judgments. The court each year receives several hundred applications to have cases heard in Ottawa, but in the 2020s the judges have said yes to only 7 per cent of the requests. This year, however, the court is saying yes much more often. It has agreed to 13 per cent of appeal applications. Last week, the Supreme Court said yes

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Supreme Court of Canada on Friday clarified how the justice system should handle delays after a person is convicted of a crime but before they are sentenced, ruling that such situations must be considered on a case-by-case basis. Friday’s judgment, called R.B.-C., involved a conviction for sexual assault where it took more than a year to deliver the sentence.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When the Charter right to a trial within a reasonable time is violated, there is only one outcome: A person accused of a crime walks free. There is no verdict of guilty or not guilty. Unreasonable delays upend about 10,000 criminal cases a year – more than 4 per cent of the total across Canada. Data obscure the personal pain. Activists have escalated their calls for change, decrying the litany of cases involving allegations of serious offences, such as sexual assault, that conclude without real

    Ontario court puts province’s new cash bail rules on hold (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Ontario Superior Court on Monday put the province’s cash bail system on hold as it granted an injunction in a case challenging the constitutional validity of the new rules recently introduced by Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative government.
