What is the impact of having to spend time, expense and additional time on an appeal?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Iacono, 2015 ONCJ 609 (CanLII):
That said, I do appreciate the additional time and expence that the defendant has been subjected to as a result of these appeal proceedings. However, this is inherent in the nature of the appellate system, which is an integral part of the administration of justice and enhances “the fairness of the process”, even though the majority of such appeals are not successful: see R v. R.R., 2008 ONCA 497 at para. 16.
