IMMEDIATE ROADSIDE SUSPENSIONS IRS
Challenging an Immediate Roadside Suspension in New Brunswick
An Immediate Roadside Suspension can result in:
-
Immediate loss of your licence
-
Vehicle impoundment
-
Financial penalties and increased insurance costs
These suspensions are issued administratively, often based on roadside testing — but they still must comply with the law.
We assist clients with:
-
Filing and preparing IRS appeals
-
Reviewing disclosure and officer reports
-
Identifying legal and procedural issues
-
Representing clients at panel hearings
-
Advising on next steps if the appeal is unsuccessful
Our team has had significant success at the administrative level, including cases where suspensions were revoked.
JUDICIAL REVIEW
Judicial Review at the Court of King’s Bench
Where an administrative appeal is unsuccessful, the decision may be challenged through a judicial review.
This is where many cases are won.
Atlantic Defence Law has been at the forefront of judicial review litigation in New Brunswick relating to Immediate Roadside Suspensions.
We have advanced arguments involving:
-
Procedural fairness
-
Lack of proper disclosure
-
Deficiencies in evidence
-
Failures in the application of the law
We were involved in litigation surrounding the Tower decision, which has shaped how these matters are approached in the province.
Our experience at this level allows us to:
-
Identify cases with strong grounds for review
-
Build structured legal arguments
-
Navigate the Court of King’s Bench process efficiently
Judicial review is complex — but in the right case, it can result in the suspension being set aside.
