A client charged with impaired driving and dangerous driving is acquitted

A client of criminal lawyer Luc Simard had been charged with impaired driving (Section 253a) and 255(1) Criminal Code of Canada, refusal to take a breathalizer test or provide a blood sample (Section 254 (5) Criminal Code) and dangerous driving under Section 249 (1) a) (2) b) of the Criminal Code (now section 320.13 Criminal Code). Mr. Simard sent the Prosecutor’s Office a request under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms demanding stay of proceedings because of unreasonable delays in proceedings. The Prosecutor decided to drop the charges against Mr. Simard’s client, who was acquitted of these charges.

Mr. Simard’s clients are not all acquitted of their charges. See notice.
