A first impaired driving charge, from roadside to resolution
The immediate licence suspension is administrative. The charge is separate, and the two run on different clocks.
What the work involves
- Explain what the roadside suspension is, what it is not, and which deadlines are already running.
- Obtain and review Crown disclosure, including the breath technician's notes and the calibration records.
- Assess the Charter issues on the stop, the detention and the demand.
- Set the position for Crown pre-trial and prepare the matter for trial where that is the right course.
This describes the shape of a matter of this kind, not an individual client file. It is not legal advice, no outcome is implied, and how any particular matter runs depends on its own facts.
