It seems the lawyers prosecuting the case against Baazov may not have been playing fair. They apparently withheld as many as 16 million files from the defense until late in the process, thus preventing the case from proceeding and creating the near certainty of a "Jordon" violation:

For those unfamiliar with Canadian law, the Jordon Decision (2016) holds that cases must be brought before the courts in a timely fashion, and sets out maximum limits for the amount of time that can pass between charge and prosecution.
The period has been proscribed as between 18 and 30 months, depending on factors like the type of charge, whether a preliminary hearing has taken place etc.
I'm not sure what the "Jordon" limit is in Baazov's case.
This is a serious issue for the Regulators as Courts across the country have had to kick hundreds of cases in the last year due to "Jordon" violations, including major cases for violent crimes like armed robbery, rape and murder.
