[133] In determining the appropriate length of the intake period in this matter, I am persuaded by the reasoning of Libman J. in Regina ex. rel. City of Toronto v. Andrade, supra., where he stated that he saw “no reason why a reasonable intake period for a traffic ticket, as a general rule, should exceed a period of between 30 to 45 days”. The jurist went on to say that “an intake period in the lesser range of 30 days will be appropriate where the defendant acts promptly within the 15 day window to respond to his/her ticket and files the notice of intention to appear in court for trial, and the officer, in turn, files the certificate of offence or offence notice expeditiously in the court office, thereby allowing court administration to have all the necessary documentation within days of the issuance of the ticket”.
