Summary
Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.
Mr. Kompon and thirteen co-accused were charged with counts for conspiring to import cocaine, laundering proceeds of crime and participating in a criminal organization. Crown counsel originally indicated intent to hold a preliminary hearing but, thirteen months after arrest and before the preliminary hearing, Crown counsel preferred a direct indictment. Mr. Kompon and other co-accused applied to the Superior Court of Justice to stay the proceedings for breach of the right to be tried within a reasonable time guaranteed by s. 11(b) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The motions judge dismissed the applications, applying a 30 month presumptive ceiling, and finding delay beyond the ceiling was attributable to the exceptional circumstance of the complexity of the case. Mr. Kompon was convicted. The Court of Appeal dismissed a joint appeal from the dismissal of the s. 11(b) applications.
