The most recent Supreme Court of Canada case to review impaired driving law is R. v. Ibanescu, 2013 SCC 31 where the Court restored an acquittal in which "staddle evidence" rebutted the statutory presumption that the blood alcohol level of the accused exceeded the legal limit at the time of driving in a case that dates back to 2006. The 2008 amendments to the Criminal Code should mean that this will be one of the last cases to review this specific issue.
