This week, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko break down the fallout from BC’s government strike and the chaos now hitting RoadSafetyBC’s Immediate Roadside Prohibition system – from rushed hearings to missing disclosure and mounting Charter violations.
With hearings being booked on almost no notice and disclosure withheld until after scheduling, Kyla explains how the administrative backlog is eroding fairness and creating a “justice bottleneck.” She and Paul discuss the legal consequences of ad-hoc decisions, procedural breaches, and why many of these cases may eventually collapse under their own weight.
The episode also touches on the long-running Lapu-Lapu case – a tragic, complex matter that keeps facing delay — and how trial timelines under the Jordan framework could come into play. Finally, the Ridiculous Driver of the Week goes to a Cowichan driver who plowed an SUV straight into a hospital emergency room, proving some drivers truly take “urgent care” too literally.
Stream Episode 426 for an unfiltered look at the system’s cracks, courtroom reality, and the humour that keeps defence lawyers sane.
