What is the limitation of time required by the Court of Justice to process, retain counsel and apply for bail?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Amiri, 2013 ONCJ 828 (CanLII):
[14] All criminal cases have certain inherent time requirements which inevitably lead to delay: Morin v. The Queen, supra, at 16 per Sopinka J. Not uncommon in the Ontario Court of Justice is the need for time to process the charge, to retain counsel, to apply for bail, to prepare and distribute disclosure materials and other pre-trial procedures such as the holding of a Crown resolution meeting and a judicial pre-trial conference. This case exhibits many of these features which legitimizes some delay on their account. These intake steps occasion inherent time requirements.
