TORONTO - It could be more than a year before Alex Hundert, one of the alleged ringleaders of last June's G20 protests in Toronto, goes to trial.
Hundert made a brief appearance in court Monday and is due to return Sept. 12 for a pretrial hearing.
But Hundert, who is charged with conspiracy, says he doesn't expect the trial to begin until the fall of 2012.
He was initially arrested in a house raid in June, was released on bail and then re-arrested for breach of recognizance in September for appearing at a university panel discussion.
He was released from a Toronto jail on Jan. 24 after agreeing to plead guilty to a single count of breaching recognizance.
Hundert says he plans to go back to his work as a community organizer, though his bail conditions prevent him from appearing at public demonstrations.
Another activist facing G20-related charges, Jaggi Singh, has launched a constitutional challenge against his bail conditions, which also include a ban on public demonstrations.
A decision is expected early February.
Of the more than 1,000 people who were arrested during the G20 summit in Toronto, only a handful of charges remain.
Many of those arrested were never charged, and the months since have seen hundreds of charges dropped.
