Analysis from the Court of Queen’s Bench

Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench Chief Justice Joyal wrote a lengthy analysis on the topic of delay in R. v. K.G.K., 2017 MBQB 96. This was in response to the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision of R. v. Jordan, 2016 SCC 27 which laid down the rules governing when charges must be dismissed if it has taken too long to bring the matter to trial.
