British Columbia Court of Appeal
Rowles, Prowse and Braidwood, JJ.A.
June 2, 2000.
Summary:
The accused Malmo-Levine was charged with possession of marihuana for the purpose of trafficking, contrary to s. 4 of the Narcotic Control Act. Malmo-Levine challenged the constitutionality of the simple possession sections of the Act. The British Columbia Supreme Court, in a decision reported at [1998] B.C.T.C. Uned. 961, held that these provisions of the Act did not infringe Malmo-Levine's s. 7 Charter rights. Malmo-Levine was convicted of possession of marihuana and possession for the purpose of trafficking, and given a conditional sentence of one year. Malmo-Levine appealed.
The accused Caine was charged with possession of marihuana. He also challenged the constitutionality of the possession provisions of the Narcotic Control Act. The British Columbia Provincial Court ruled that it was bound by the decision in Malmo-Levine that the provisions did not infringe s. 7 of the Charter. The court convicted Caine. Caine appealed.
The British Columbia Court of Appeal, Prowse, J.A., dissenting, dismissed both appeals.
Civil Rights - Topic 660.1
Liberty - Limitations on - Possession of a narcotic - Marihuana - The British Columbia Court of Appeal held that the provisions in the Narcotic Control Act which prohibited marihuana possession did not infringe an accused's "liberty" interest in s. 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the right to be free from imprisonment) in a manner not in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice - The court held that marihuana did pose a risk of harm to society, however small, and the degree of harm was neither insignificant nor trivial - However, the deprivation of an accused's liberty interest, caused by the presence of penal provisions in the Act, was in accordance with the "harm principle", one of the principles of fundamental justice - See paragraphs 104 to 163.
Civil Rights - Topic 684
Liberty - Principles of fundamental justice - Harm principle - The British Columbia Court of Appeal held that the "harm principle" was a principle of fundamental justice within the meaning of s. 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms - See paragraphs 104 to 134.
