Does the term “to actual or anticipated end of trial” mean that the trial ended after a period of reserve time?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Halton Region Conservation Authority v. Ahmad, 2018 ONCJ 883 (CanLII):

[43] Finally, in his s. 11(b) ruling in Regina v. Colpitts, 2018 NSSC 41 dated March 9th, 2018, Coady J. found that the subject trial ended when the parties completed the presentation of their respective evidence and legal argument, and not when he delivered his judgment following a period of reserve-time. In that regard, at para. 64 of his judgment, the said jurist stated, in part, as follows: The law appears unsettled as to the meaning of the phrase ‘to the actual or anticipated end of trial’. I take the view that this trial ended on November 7, 2017, and not when I render my decision on March 9, 2018.
