Bulland[xi], the Court of Appeal overturned a thirty-nine month sentence and imposed a sentence of two years less one day for an accused convicted after trial of impaired driving causing bodily harm. In that case, the accused struck a pedestrian after driving home from a concert in downtown Toronto. His blood alcohol concentration was estimated to be between 80 and 120 mgs. The victim suffered a catastrophic brain injury, paralysis to the left side of his body and was no longer able to care for himself.
