New @ClaOntario podcast! Season 10 Episode 3: His Majesty the King v. Robert Vrbanic, et al. In His Majesty the King v. Robert Vrbanic, et al., the Ontario Court of Appeal majority upheld the decision to stay the drug trafficking charges because the delay exceeded the 18-month Jordan ceiling and was not justified by the complexity of the case. Justice Roberts dissented, arguing that the delay was miscalculated and that the trial judge incorrectly applied the rules for determining exceptional circumstances.
