Section 11(b) Trial Delay Application (Accused) - Ontario Case Management Reform Track (3-Appearance Limit)

The Process at a Glance: Upon the laying of charges, counsel audits the information sworn date. Counsel conducts accelerated onboarding and explains the 3-appearance limit to the client. At the first appearance, counsel establishes status and requests immediate disclosure. At the second appearance, counsel addresses disclosure gaps and resolves any representation issues. At the third appearance, counsel makes the final election and sets trial dates, ensuring that any scheduling delay is recorded and contested.

Delay ceilings are calculated under R. v. Jordan, 2016 SCC 27, and early case management rules are designed to prevent institutional backlog.
