<\/a>Part Five: Procedures Where a Stay of a Driving Prohibition is Sought<\/h2>\n

When a party is seeking to stay a driving prohibition under s. 261 of the\u00a0Criminal Code<\/em>\u00a0and is also seeking leave to appeal a decision of a summary conviction appeal judge under s. 839 of the\u00a0Criminal Code<\/em>, an application must be brought to a\u00a0single judge<\/strong>\u00a0of the Court of Appeal sitting in chambers by filing a\u00a0Notice of Application for Leave to Appeal and an Application for a Stay<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A single judge of the Court of Appeal may make an order under s. 261 of the\u00a0Criminal Code<\/em>\u00a0staying a driving prohibition that was imposed under s. 259 of the\u00a0Criminal Code.<\/em>\u00a0The judge may order a stay only if the judge first decides that leave to appeal from the summary conviction appeal judge should be granted. If the judge decides to grant leave to appeal, then the same judge will go on to decide whether to impose a stay of the driving prohibition. If the judge refuses to grant leave to appeal, then the application for the stay will be dismissed.<\/p>\n

The judge will decide the questions whether to grant leave to appeal from the summary conviction appeal judge’s decision and, if leave is granted, whether to grant or refuse a stay of the driving prohibition, based on the parties’ written materials, unless the judge requests oral submissions from the parties.<\/p>\n

For the procedures that apply to an application for an order staying a driving prohibition under s. 261 of the\u00a0Criminal Code<\/em>, consult s. 16 of the\u00a0Practice Direction Concerning Criminal Appeals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What are the major steps in an appeal of a summary conviction appeal judge where a stay of driving prohibition is sought?<\/h3>\n

The major steps in an appeal of a summary conviction appeal judge where a stay of a driving prohibition under s. 261 of the\u00a0Criminal Code<\/em>\u00a0is sought are as follows:<\/p>\n

\n

The applicant serves and files a\u00a0Notice of Application for Leave to Appeal and Application for a Stay (Form B<\/a>)\u00a0<\/strong>within\u00a030 days<\/strong>\u00a0of decision of the Superior Court judge. The Notice must be filed, together with proof of service, at least seven business days before the hearing date indicated in the Notice.<\/p>\n

At least seven business days before the hearing date indicated in the Notice, the applicant files, with proof of service, one copy of an\u00a0Application Record.\u00a0<\/strong>The content of the Application Record is described in s. 16 of the Practice Direction Concerning Criminal Appeals in the Court of Appeal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The applicant serves and files one copy of an\u00a0Applicant’s Factum<\/strong>\u00a0that consists of a concise statement of the facts and law relied on by the applicant. A\u00a0Book of Authorities<\/strong>\u00a0may be filed.<\/p>\n

The respondent shall e-mail all parties and the motions clerk of the Court of Appeal at\u00a0COA.E-File@ontario.ca<\/a>\u00a0(with “Attention Motions Clerk” in the subject line) to indicate its position on the application.<\/p>\n

The respondent shall serve and file any additional materials that may assist the judge in deciding the application by 12 noon on the day before the application is heard.<\/p>\n

The materials are placed before a single judge of the court sitting in chambers. The judge shall decide whether to grant or refuse leave to appeal based on the written material (no oral argument is presented, unless permitted by the judge). If the judge decides to grant leave to appeal, the judge will next decide whether to grant an order staying the driving prohibition.<\/p>\n

The court will email all parties a scanned copy of the endorsement disposing of the application.<\/p>\n

If leave to appeal is granted (and regardless whether the stay was granted), the appellant shall perfect the appeal within 30 days of the order granting leave to appeal.<\/p>\n

To perfect the appeal, the appellant must serve and file, with proof of service: i) three paper copies of an\u00a0Appellant’s Factum<\/strong>\u00a0and, where possible, one electronic copy of the Appellant’s Factum; ii) three paper copies of the\u00a0Appeal Book\u00a0<\/strong>including any Transcripts from the trial in the Ontario Court of Justice as required for the hearing of the appeal; and iii) three paper copies of any\u00a0Transcript<\/strong>\u00a0required from the proceeding in the Superior Court of Justice (e.g., testimony of additional witnesses or oral reasons of the summary conviction appeal judge), and one electronic copy of the Transcript (if available). A\u00a0Book of Authorities<\/strong>\u00a0may be filed no later than 5 business days after the date when the Appellant’s Factum is filed.<\/p>\n

The Appellant’s Factum must consist of the contents described in\u00a0Rule 16\u00a0<\/a>of the\u00a0Criminal Appeal Rules<\/em>. The Appeal Book must consist of the contents set out in\u00a0Rule 14\u00a0<\/a>of the\u00a0Criminal Appeal Rules<\/em>, including any Transcripts from the trial in the Ontario Court of Justice as required for the hearing of the appeal, and the Notice of Appeal filed in the Superior Court of Justice and the Factums filed in the Superior Court of Justice:\u00a0s. 16 of the Practice Direction Concerning Criminal Appeals in the Court of Appeal for Ontario<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The respondent serves and files three copies of the\u00a0Respondent’s Appeal Book (if any)\u00a0<\/strong>and the\u00a0Respondent’s Factum<\/strong>, together with an electronic copy of the Respondent’s Factum, if possible. A\u00a0Book of Authorities\u00a0<\/strong>may be filed no later than 5 business days after the date when the Respondent’s Factum is filed.<\/p>\n

After the appeal is perfected, the court will contact the parties to set a hearing date.<\/p>\n

The standard time for oral argument will be 30 minutes for the appellant and 15 minutes for the respondent. Parties requesting more time should contact the Criminal Appeal Coordinator: see the Court of Appeal’s website for contact information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Inside this guide: Introduction Part One: Starting an appeal Part Two: Responding to an appeal Part Three: Hearing the application...","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":2250,"menu_order":5,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"full-width-page-template.php","meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\r\nPart Five: Procedures where a stay of a driving prohibition is sought -
