The 2025 Annotated Ontario Provincial Offences Act offers a gold mine of up-to-date information not available anywhere else – everything that a practitioner needs to confidently handle proceedings under the Ontario Provincial Offences Act.

An essential resource for any practitioner. This annual publication offers comprehensive and up-to-date information providing everything that a practitioner needs to confidently handle proceedings under an Ontario statute from beginning to end.

Updates to the 2025 edition of the Annotated Ontario Provincial Offences Act reflect amendments made to the main Act as well as the new case law annotations including:

R v Omiwole, 2025 ONCA 111: Leave to appeal was denied where pandemic-related and administrative delays were found to be exceptional circumstances. Only pure questions of law of public interest justify leave to appeal.
R v Wesley, 2025 ONCA 51: The Anthony-Cook public interest test for joint submissions does not apply after a trial, as there is no quid pro quo for a guilty plea.
R v P.V.T., 2025 ONCA 96: Remote trial accommodations for hearing difficulties were sufficient; the accused was deemed present for his trial.
R v Chen, 2025 ONCA 168: Providing interpretation in the wrong language breaches s.14 Charter rights. Courts must ensure interpreter competence, and trial judges have a gatekeeping role.
R v Parikh, 2024 ABCA 390: Leave to appeal requires a question of law of sufficient importance; regulatory offence appeals are not “do-overs.”
