You asked and asked (and asked) ... and we finally delivered! Thanks to our guest reader extraordinaire Amandeep Sehmbi we bring you the Majority decision in R v Jordan. This seminal 2016 SCC decision remains the most pivotal decision regarding section 11(b) of the Charter aka DELAY. Before Amandeep takes you through the decision, Karly and Zach chat what Jordan means and how it touches... well... everything (or so it seems). We also chat Jordan & Covid, exceptional circumstances, court closures and court reopenings ... which is a whole entire can of worms.
