Daniel Goldbloom

Excellent opportunity to learn from a team of outstanding criminal lawyers:

Goldbloom Ross Cunningham LLP is hiring again! We're looking for a 0–5 year call who’s excited about criminal trials and appeals and professional discipline work. If that's you, or someone you know, get in touch! linkedin.com/jobs/view/4326…

@RobCurrieMusic I had one case where the accused could not return to Canada to face trial on outstanding charges because Citizenship and Immigration Canada refused to renew his passport...until he resolved his outstanding charges. The Crown conceded our s. 11(b) application.

Great reminder that if police charge you and get a warrant for your arrest – but don't then try to find and arrest you – the delay counts against the Crown: R. v. Folkes, 2024 ONCJ 506 <canlii.ca/t/k76rc>

Savard Foy LLP is hiring an articling student for the 2024/2025 term! We hope you apply to join our criminal law practice in downtown Toronto

@cselley @CBCNews Uh oh it sounds like you haven't been getting my messages for a while then

@danielgoldbloom @CBCNews Now you tell me

It was a pleasure to talk to @CBCNews about this. Free advice: don’t buy switchblades online.

Just because you bought it on Amazon doesn't mean it's legal. I spoke to @angelinaaking and @nicolebrockbank at @CBCNews about buying weapons online: cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

@SewrattanLaw There is deference to the underlying factual findings that lead inexorably to the characterization of the period of delay, but not to the characterization itself. (I know, right?) The BCCA tried to sort out this Jordan standard of review in R v Virk, 2021 BCCA 58 at paras 8-24.

@danielgoldbloom I fail to see why deference is owed at all. The Court is turning Jurkus on its head. (This is a hot take bc I have not read Jurkus in a long time).

R. v. Coates, 2023 ONCA 856: Important 11(b) case. Given the factual matrix, the Crown was reasonable to prefer the earliest available consecutive dates for a 2-day trial, even though earlier non-consecutive dates might have been available. [1/7] coadecisions.ontariocourts.ca/coa/coa/en/ite…

@SewrattanLaw The question is whether the reasonable efforts at mitigation required of the Crown to get an exceptional circumstances delay reduction are less than the reasonable efforts required of the defence to show the “defence initiative” required for an under-ceiling stay (2/3)

@SewrattanLaw Interesting how much the Court grounds its analysis in deference to the trial judge. My hope: Defence counsel can use Coates to argue for scheduling consecutive trial dates—instead of potentially earlier broken up dates—without giving up 11(b) rights. (1/2)

Want to know what persuades judges in criminal cases? Ask them yourself at this great @OBALawyers evening event on September 11 featuring Justices Mirza, Roberts, Amarshi, and Dellandrea! cbapd.org/details_en.asp…

@shawnmicallef On it.

And you can support our campaign financially here: meetnate.ca/donate I'm forever thankful for the opportunity to represent my home community, and I'm convinced I can make an even bigger difference for all of Ontario. But I’m going to need your help.

I'm running for Ontario Liberal leader. To make a difference, to help make you see politics the way I see it, and to rebuild a party ready to rebuild our province. meetnate.ca youtube.com/watch?v=GLNano…

@IRPlawyer @EliasCrimLaw @SCC_eng This also deals with the practice of Courts offering trial dates essentially *tomorrow* or if you are booked tomorrow, starting a year from now.

@EliasCrimLaw @danielgoldbloom @SCC_eng Not weird. As someone with a busy trial calendar who turns down dates but offers others, this comes up a lot.

Big decision from @SCC_eng this morning on when cases will be thrown out for delay. R. v. Hanan 2023 SCC 12 says no “bright line rune” that all of the time from a defence rejection of a trial date will count as defence delay. decisions.scc-csc.ca/scc-csc/scc-cs…

@jonnyrosenyyz The greatest compliment a person can hope for.

And on occasion he can be funny.
