Notice: Pilot Project Regarding Criminal Conviction/Acquittal Appeals

The Court of Appeal has issued a new Practice Directive - "Pilot Project Regarding Criminal Conviction/Acquittal Appeals". The purpose of the Practice Directive is to establish a new regime to ensure that conviction and acquittal appeals are heard within one year of the filing of the notice of appeal. The pilot project will apply to all conviction and acquittal appeals commenced between 7 September 2010 and 30 December 2011. The Practice Directive and Pilot Project are the result of several months' consultations of the Court's Criminal Rules sub-committee and representatives of the criminal law bar (federal and provincial Crown, defence lawyers, and Legal Services Society).
