If your speeding ticket trial was unsuccessful, you may have grounds to ask the courts to review the decision.
You have 30 days from the date of your sentence to file a legal form called a Notice of Appeal. You will need to file this at the Supreme Court nearest to where you were convicted. Be mindful of this date as court registries vary in how they accept filings and you may need to attend the court registry in person.
If you are not able to make this first deadline, you will need to ask the court for an extension of time to appeal. You will need a good explanation of why you were late in filing the Notice of Appeal. It is up to a judge to decide whether to grant the extension or not.

The Supreme Court of Canada has affirmed that the right to a trial in one’s official language of choice is of such importance that a judge’s failure to ask an accused what language they want their trial conducted in at first instance is enough of an error of law that it is reviewable on appeal, as it taints the court proceeding.
In the case at hand, Franck Yvan Tayo Tompouba, a bilingual Francophone, was convicted of sexual assault following a trial conducted in English in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. It wasn’t until he appealed that he asserted for the first time that he wanted his trial conducted in French.
