An Ontario justice of the peace judge has ruled that Canadians’ charter right to a timely trial applies in traffic court, dismissing the case of a man charged with running a red light after prosecutors waited too long to bring the case to trial.
An Oakville, Ont., driver was captured on camera running a red light at an intersection on June 8, 2022, and the driver pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors set the May 23, 2024, as the date for case down for trial.
