Supreme Court of Canada

McLachlin, C.J.C., Rothstein, Moldaver, Wagner and Gascon, JJ.

December 9, 2014.

Summary:

The accused was charged with trafficking marijuana and possession for the purpose of trafficking. An issue arose as to whether the accused's rights under ss. 8 and 9 of the Charter were violated, and if so, whether the evidence seized should be excluded. A voir dire was held.

The Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Court, in a decision reported 332 Nfld. & P.E.I.R. 122; 1030 A.P.R. 122, held that the accused's rights under both ss. 8 and 9 of the Charter were violated, and as a result the evidence seized was excluded under s. 24(2). The Crown appealed.

The Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal, Rowe, J.A., dissenting, in a decision reported 349 Nfld. & P.E.I.R. 1; 1085 A.P.R. 1, allowed the appeal and remitted the matter to the Provincial Court for a new trial. The accused appealed.

The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal.
