Toronto DUI Case Results
Review various Toronto DUI case results, including dismissed impaired driving, Over 80, and care and control charges.
Each DUI case is different. The outcome depends on the evidence, what the police did, and whether they followed proper legal procedures.
These examples show how courts can dismiss or stay impaired driving charges when the defence identifies legal errors or evidentiary problems. Past results do not predict the outcome of any future case.
What these cases have in common
The cases below involve different charges, including over 80, impaired driving and care and control. In each one, the result turned on a careful review of the disclosure: breath instrument records, officer notes, video and the timing of each step in the investigation.
Common issues include whether police had lawful grounds for a demand, whether they respected the right to counsel, and whether the breath evidence was reliable. Our guide to common DUI defences explains how we examine each of these issues, and our article on your chances of beating a DUI charge puts them in context.
