I am also concerned because these Rules impose an unwelcome and in many cases unnecessary burden on the defence. The Rules would require ye to mend your ways. Our provincial court is, I am sure, the busiest in the land. The trial courts are double booked. The Crown's office is understaffed.
Legal aid is pathetic.
The trial judge dismissed the motion out of hand. Justice Borins was scathing in his reasons for dismissing the appeal. Justice Borins may have had a point insofar as timing was concerned. His Honour's judgment was thoroughly researched and carefully thought out, and it was a zinger. In motor vehicle terms, Kutynec was an accident waiting to happen.
