Courts - Topic 583
Judges - Duties - Re reasons for decisions - The accused appealed from his conviction for sexual assault on his young daughter - The accused submitted that the reasons of the trial judge were inadequate in that they did not offer any explanation for the total rejection of the accused's exculpatory evidence - He contended that where the Crown's evidence was not overwhelming and the accused's evidence was not obviously unreliable, the trial judge's failure to give any reason for rejecting the accused's evidence constituted an error in law or a miscarriage of justice and necessitated a new trial - The Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal - The real question where an appeal was based on the alleged inadequacy of the reasons was whether those reasons permitted effective appellate review of the verdict - The reasons of the trial judge demonstrated a careful consideration of the entirety of the evidence, an appreciation of the potential weaknesses in the evidence of the complainant, an understanding of the position of the defence and the accused's evidence, and a proper application of the relevant legal principles, especially the reasonable doubt standard - The trial judge's reasons permitted effective appellate review and revealed the path the trial judge followed to conviction.
