Summary:
The accused was convicted on two charges of rape and sentenced to terms of one year imprisonment and two years' imprisonment less one day, to be served consecutively. The trial judge also imposed a probation order. The accused appealed against sentence, submitting that the trial judge had no authority to impose probation under s. 663(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada.
The Northwest Territories Court of Appeal allowed the appeal and vacated the probation order.
