NATURE DE LA CAUSE

 

Droit de la famille - Code civil - Adoption - Garde - Droit administratif - Compétence - Intérêt de l’enfant - Interprétation  des articles 551 et 569 du Code civil du Québec - Enfant placé en adoption par la mère biologique à l’insu du père - Requête du père en déclaration de paternité intentée avant l’ordonnance de placement - La Cour d’appel du Québec a-t-elle erré en droit en confirmant la compétence de la Cour supérieure de se prononcer sur une demande de reconnaissance de paternité, alors qu’un processus d’adoption est en cours? - La Cour d’appel du Québec a-t-elle erré en droit (même en admettant la compétence de la Cour supérieure) en statuant qu’en l’absence d’une ordonnance de placement, un homme peut, en tout temps, s’adresser à la Cour supérieure et demander qu’on reconnaisse sa paternité à l’égard d’un enfant, par ailleurs placé pour fins d’adoption suite au consentement de la mère biologique? - La Cour d’appel du Québec a-t-elle erré en droit en subordonnant l’intérêt de l’enfant à la détermination de sa filiation génétique, faisant ainsi abstraction de la réalité des parents adoptifs et des conséquences humaines?

Michel Gagné

Léon Lacelle et al. (Qué.)


Motion to extend the time in which to apply for leave to appeal and motion to dismiss the application for leave for want of prosecution

 


 


CORY J. -- The Respondents’ motion to dismiss the application of Michel Gagné for leave to appeal is granted and the application of Michel Gagné to extend the time for filing the application is dismissed.


LE JUGE CORY -- La requête des intimés visant le rejet de la demande d’autorisation d’appel de Michel Gagné est accueillie et la demande de Michel Gagné visant à obtenir une prorogation du délai imparti pour déposer une demande d’autorisation d’appel est rejetée.


 


                The decision of the Court of Appeal of Québec was rendered the 5 Feb./96.  That decision refused Michel Gagné permission to extend the time to appeal a judgment rendered the 27 July/95.


                Dans un arrêt rendu le 5 février 1996, la Cour d’appel du Québec a refusé à Michel Gagné l’autorisation de proroger le délai imparti pour en appeler d’un jugement rendu le 27 juillet 1995.


 


                The office of the Clerk of Process advised Michel Gagné of the additional material needed to perfect the application.  Apparently nothing was done until the Respondent brought their application to dismiss the application on the 2 May/96 when the application of Michel Gagné, dated the 15 May, to


 


Le Greffe a informé Michel Gagné des documents additionnels nécessaires pour compléter la demande.  Apparemment, rien n’a été fait jusqu’à ce que les intimés présentent, le 2 mai 1996, une demande de rejet de la demande d’autorisation d’appel, et que Michel Gagné dépose, le 15 mai, une demande de extend the time for bringing the application was launched.


prorogation du délai imparti pour présenter une demande d’autorisation d’appel.


 


Significantly there appears to be no merit in the application that Michel Gagné seeks to bring forward.  On the other hand the respondents are suffering great prejudice by the delays.  The order referred to in the opening paragraph will therefore be granted.


Fait révélateur, la demande que Michel Gagné cherche à présenter ne semble pas fondée.  Par contre, les délais causent un grave préjudice aux intimés.   L’ordonnance mentionnée au premier paragraphe est donc accordée.

Requête en radiation de passages du mémoire

 


 

GRANTED / ACCORDÉE

 

On the appellant’s motion to strike appendices from respondent’s factum:

 

Whereas the appeal herein is as of right on a dissent on a question of law in the Court of Appeal, namely that as Miss Seymour never had possession of the child, there was no taking, as contemplated by s. 283  of the Criminal Code ;

 

Whereas the appendices sought to be struck comprise portions of the record below not included in the case on appeal as a result of a difference between counsel;

 

Considering that s. 62 of the Supreme Court Act and Rule 37 of this Court have not been complied with;

 

Considering that in the opinion of the undersigned, the information contained in the said appendices is not required for the disposition of the question of law at issue;

 

Doth grant said motion and order that appendices A and B be struck from respondent’s factum.

Sa Majesté La Reine (Crim.)(Qué.)


Michel Lebrun et Sylvie Roy, pour l’appelant.

 

 

 

Jean-François Royer et Jacques Gauvin, pour l’intimée.


 


 


LE JUGE EN CHEF (oralement) -- La preuve au procès concernant l’accusation de vol qualifié donnait ouverture à deux théories, la culpabilité fondée sur la commission directe du crime et celle fondée sur la participation fondée au sens de l’art. 21(1)  du Code criminel .  Tant la Couronne que la défense voulaient que le juge instruise le jury sur la complicité comme fondement alternatif de la culpabilité de l’appelant.  Le juge ne l’a pas fait, ou du moins l’a fait de façon inadéquate.

 

                Cette erreur justifie l’ordonnance d’un nouveau procès.  Le pourvoi est rejeté.


THE CHIEF JUSTICE (orally) -- The evidence at trial concerning the charge of robbery provided a basis for two theories, guilt based on the direct commission of the crime and guilt based on being a party pursuant to s. 21(1)  of the Criminal Code .  Both the Crown and the defence wished the judge to instruct the jury on complicity as an alternative basis for the appellant`s guilt.  The judge did not do so, or at least did so inadequately.

 

 

                This error warrants the ordering of a new trial.  The appeal is dismissed.

   v. (24640)

 

Her Majesty The Queen (Crim.)(Ont.)


Rosalind E. Conway, for the appellant.

 

 

 

David Butt, for the respondent.


 

THE CHIEF JUSTICE (orally) -- We need not hear from you Mr. Butt.  The Court is ready to hand down judgment immediately.  Judgment of the Court will be given by our colleague, Mr. Justice Cory.


 

LE JUGE EN CHEF -- Il ne sera pas nécessaire de vous entendre Me Butt.  La Cour est prête à rendre jugement séance tenante.  Le jugement de la Cour sera prononcé par notre collègue le juge Cory.


 

JUSTICE CORY (orally) -- Looking at the charge as a whole we can find no error of any significance in the careful instructions given by the trial judge to the jury.  On the other issues, particularly as to the Crown’s reexamination of the complainant on the fifth statement given by her, we are in agreement with the reasons expressed by the Ontario Court of Appeal. 

 

LE JUGE CORY (oralement au nom de la Cour) -- Après avoir examiné l’exposé dans son ensemble, nous ne constatons aucune erreur grave  dans les directives minutieuses données par le juge du procès au jury.  Pour ce qui est des autres questions en litige, particulièrement du réinterrogatoire de la plaignante par le ministère public concernant sa cinquième Any error resulting from this reexamination of the complainant did not occasion any miscarriage of justice.


déclaration, nous suscrivons aux motifs de la Cour d’appel de l’Ontario.  Toute erreur pouvant découler de ce réinterrogatoire de la plaignante n’a pas engendré d’erreur judiciaire.


 

As to the alleged failure to specifically relate the effects of intoxication to the common sense inference if it occurred it did not occasion a miscarriage of justice.  The appeal is therefore dismissed.


 

Si, comme on le prétend, il y a eu omission d’établir expressément un lien entre les effets de l’intoxication et la déduction conforme au bon sens, cette omission n’a pas engendré d’erreur judiciaire.  Le pourvoi est par conséquent rejeté.

SUMMARIES OF THE CASES

RÉSUMÉS DES AFFAIRES

 

 

24607    Gloria Augustus v. Communauté urbaine de Montréal et Allan Gosset

 

Civil Code - Torts - Vicarious liability - Damages - Assessment - Action for compensatory and exemplary damages filed by mother and father of the victim killed by a policeman in course of his duty - Employer's liability - Right of parenthood - Solatium doloris - Exemplary damages - Sections 1053 and 1056 of the Civil Code of Lower Canada - Sections 1 and 49 of the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, R.S.Q., c. C-12 - Whether the majority of the Court of Appeal of Quebec erred in their application of principles and evaluation relating to the different heads of damages

 

The questions raised by the appeal are as follows:

 

1.             The majority opinion of the Court of Appeal erred in law by refusing to recognize that the Applicant personally has a right to claim compensatory damages arising out of the loss of life of her son under the heading solatium doloris pursuant to to Articles 1053 and 1056 of the Civil Code of lower Canada as Fish J.A. ruled in his dissent and-or- in conformity with the right of parenthood under sections 1, 37 et seq. and 4 of the Quebec Charter.

 

2.             The majority of the Court of Appeal denigrated the value of the right to life by refusing to recognize the right of the Applicant to obtain compensatory award for loss of life and loss of life expectancy as part of the patrimony of her son under the Quebec Charter which ruling was the subject of dissent by Fish J.A.

 

3.             The majority of the Court of Appeal erred in lawwith respect to their appreciation of what constitutes wilful and intentional acts entitling the Applicant to receive exemplary damages under section 49(2) of the Quebec Charter.

Les questions soulevées par l’appel sont les suivantes:

 

1.La Cour d’appel à la majorité a commis une erreur de droit en refusant de reconnaître que l’appelante a personnellement le droit de réclamer des dommages-intérêts compensatoires pour la perte de son fils, au titre du solatium doloris, conformément aux art. 1053 et 1056 du Code civil du Bas-Canada, comme le juge Fish l’a décidé dans sa dissidence, ou conformément au right of parenthood en vertu des art. 1, 37 et suiv. et 4 de la Charte québécoise.

 

2.La Cour d’appel à la majorité a déprécié le droit à la vie en refusant de reconnaître le droit de l’appelante d’obtenir des dommages intérêts compensatoires pour perte de vie ou perte d’expectative de vie, en tant que partie du patrimoine de son fils en vertu de la Charte des droits et libertés, laquelle décision a fait l’objet d’une dissidence de la part du juge Fish.

 

3.La Cour d’appel à la majorité a commis une erreur de droit dans son appréciation de ce qui constitue des atteintes illicites et intentionnelles conférant à l’appelante le droit à des dommages-intérêts exemplaires en vertu du paragraphe 49(2) de la Charte québécoise.

24752Michael Feeney v. Her Majesty The Queen

 

Criminal law - Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms  - Detention - Evidence - Offences - Police - Pre-trial procedure -  Seizure  - Right to counsel - Admissibility of evidence - Charter, ss. 7 , 8 , 9 , 10  - Warrantless search of dwelling - Whether the Court of Appeal erred in law by creating a doctrine of exigent circumstances  to justify police entry into a private dwelling without a warrant, reasonable and probable grounds or articulable cause? - Whether the Court erred in holding that there was no need for it to engage in any Charter analysis, as this kind of police conduct was beyond Charter scrutiny and beyond the reach of sections 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , and 24(2)  of the Charter? - Is there a doctrine of articulable cause to justify a warrantless entry of a dwelling based only on a hunch? 

The battered body of Frank Boyle was found at his home around 8:20 a.m. one Saturday.  A police officer noted the blood splattered everywhere including the walls of the living room, and  Sportsman brand cigarettes in the residence. The police went to the scene of a single motor vehicle accident involving  Boyle's  pick-up, about half a kilometre west of the Boyle residence.  There a witness said she had seen Boyle's vehicle in the ditch at 6:45 a.m. that morning and  someone she identified as Michael walking in an easterly direction.  Another witness told a police officer that he assumed it was the Appellant who had crashed  Boyle's pick-up because the location of the accident was in the same place as skid marks from another accident earlier that morning involving the Appellant.

 

The police went to the Appellant’s trailer, knocked on the door, said "Police" and entered after he got no answer.  The officer awakened the Appellant by shaking his leg and asked him to get out of bed and come forward into the daylight.  When the officer saw blood splattered all over the Appellant’s front, he had another officer read his rights to the Appellant, and arrested the Appellant. The police seized the shirt the Appellant was wearing and took him to the Williams Lake R.C.M.P. detachment where the Appellant tried unsuccessfully to contact a lawyer.

 

That evening, two officers questioned the Appellant.  When the subject of lawyers was raised, the Appellant said he "should have one."  In the interview, he admitted striking Boyle, stealing cigarettes, beer, and cash from Boyle's residence and  putting the cash under his mattress in his trailer.  The police then obtained a search warrant authorizing them to seize the Appellant's shoes, Sportsman cigarettes and cash.

 

The Appellant was ultimately convicted of second degree murder following a jury trial in the Supreme Court of British Columbia.  The British Columbia Court of Appeal dismissed his appeal.

Droit criminel - Charte canadienne des droits et libertés  - Détention - Preuve - Infractions - Police - Procédure préalable au procès - Saisie - Droit à l'assistance d'un avocat - Admissibilité de la preuve - Articles 7 , 8 , 9  et 10  de la Charte - Fouille et perquisition sans mandat d'un logement - La Cour d'appel a-t-elle commis une erreur de droit en créant une doctrine de la situation d'urgence pour justifier l'entrée de la police dans un logement privé sans mandat et sans motifs raisonnables et probables ni motifs précis? - La Cour d'appel a-t-elle commis une erreur en concluant qu'il n'était pas nécessaire qu'elle fasse une analyse en vertu de la Charte, parce que ce type de conduite policière ne pouvait être soumis à un examen en vertu de la Charte et qu'il échappait à l'application des art. 7 , 8 , 9 , 10  et 24(2)  de la Charte? - Existe-t-il une doctrine du motif précis pour justifier une entrée sans mandat dans un logement, fondée seulement sur une inspiration?

 

Le corps meurtri de Frank Boyle a été trouvé dans sa maison vers 8 h 20 un samedi matin.  Un policier a remarqué du sang répandu partout dans la résidence, notamment sur les murs de la salle de séjour, ainsi que des cigarettes de marque Sportsman.  La police s'est rendue sur la scène d'un accident impliquant un seul véhicule, soit la camionnette de Boyle, environ un demi kilomètre à l'ouest de la résidence de celui-ci.  Un témoin sur place a dit qu'elle avait vu le véhicule dans le fossé vers 6 h 45 ce matin-là et quelqu'un qu'elle a identifié comme étant Michael marchant vers l'est.  Un autre témoin a dit à un policier qu'il présumait que c'était l'appelant qui avait abîmé la camionnette de Boyle parce que l'accident avait eu lieu au même endroit où il y avait des marques de dérapage causées par un autre accident survenu plus tôt ce matin-là, dans lequel était impliqué l'appelant.

 

Le policier s'est rendu à la roulotte de l'appelant, a frappé à la porte, a dit «Police» et, ne recevant aucune réponse, est entré.  Le policier a réveillé l'appelant en le secouant par la jambe et lui a demandé de se lever et de se placer dans la lumière du jour.  Lorsque le policier a vu du sang répandu partout sur le devant de la personne de l'appelant, il a fait lire par un autre policier les droits de l'appelant et l'a arrêté.  La police a saisi la chemise que portait l'appelant et l'a conduit au détachement de la G.R.C. à Williams Lake, où l'appelant a tenté vainement de communiquer avec un avocat.

 

Ce soir-là, deux policiers ont interrogé l'appelant.  Lorsqu'il a été question d'avocats, l'appelant a dit qu'il «devrait en avoir un».  Pendant l'interrogatoire, il a admis avoir frappé Boyle, avoir volé des cigarettes, de la bière et de l'argent dans la résidence de Boyle et avoir placé l'argent sous son matelas dans sa roulotte.  La police a alors obtenu un mandat de perquisition l'autorisant à saisir les souliers de l'appelant, les cigarettes Sportsman et l'argent.

 

L'appelant a finalement été déclaré coupable de meurtre au deuxième degré après un procès devant jury en Cour suprême de la Colombie-Britannique.  La Cour d'appel de la Colombie-Britannique a rejeté son appel.

Criminal law - Defence - Barristers and solicitors - Entering of guilty pleas at trial - Pressure by counsel for the appellant - Personal circumstances of counsel - Conflict of interest - Motion to the Court of Appeal to file new evidence with a view to setting aside the guilty pleas - Appeal dismissed by the Court of Appeal - Dissent by Bisson J.A. based on the undue influence exerted by counsel for the appellant to have the appellant plead guilty.

 

The appeal raises the following issues:

 

1.Mr. Justice Tourigny of the Quebec Court of Appeal erred in law by requiring the accused to proclaim his innocence and even to reveal his defence as a condition for the withdrawal of his plea.

 

2.Mr. Justice Tourigny of the Quebec Court of Appeal erred in law by incorrectly giving a negative inference to the fact that the appellant had tried to negotiate his pleas.

 

3.Mr. Justice Tourigny of the Quebec Court of Appeal erred in law by denying the withdrawal of the pleas even though the accused was subjected to undue pressure by counsel, who was then in a conflict of interest situation.

24725Jon Athey v. Ferdinando Leonati and Kevin Johnson and between Jon Athey v. Edward Alan Gagne, Dolphin Delivery (1985) Ltd. and Dolphin Transport Ltd.

 

Torts - Negligence - Damages - Appeal - Personal Injury - Causation and its apportionment - Whether the Court of Appeal erred in failing to address the issue of apportionment of causation -Whether the Court of Appeal erred in limiting the scope of appellate review.

 

Mr. Athey was in two motor vehicle accidents: one on February 5, 1991; and one on April 23, 1991.  After the first accident, he began to complain of pain and stiffness in the neck and back. According to Boyd J.: "Immediately prior to the second motor vehicle accident, he admitted that he was well on the way to recovery.  In his records, his chiropractor described [Mr. Athey's] condition as being close to his pre-accident state."

 

After the second accident, Mr. Athey continued to work full-time doing autobody repair, but did not work on any repair jobs involving heavy manual labour.  According to Boyd J., the Appellant testified that in August 1991,  his condition began to improve somewhat. However while exercising on October 11, 1991, he felt a “pop” in his back and experienced a good deal of pain.  He went to consult a neurosurgeon and following a conservative mode of treatment of analgesics, bed rest and physiotherapy, the Appellant underwent surgery.

 

Mr. Athey brought an action, in the British Columbia Supreme Court, seeking damages for injury and loss suffered following the two motor vehicle accidents.  He claimed that as a result of injuries sustained in the two accidents and more particularly the second accident, he eventually suffered a herniation of the L4-5 disc, which herniation was ultimately treated by way of discectomy surgery.  The Court awarded him 25% of the assessed damages, and his appeal to the British Columbia Court of Appeal was unsuccessful.

Responsabilité délictuelle - Négligence - Dommages-intérêts - Appel - Lésions corporelles - Causalité et sa répartition - La Cour d'appel a-t-elle commis une erreur en omettant d'examiner la question de la répartition de la causalité? - La Cour d'appel a-t-elle commis une erreur en limitant la portée de l'examen en appel?

 

M. Athey a été victime de deux accidents de voiture: le premier, le 5 février 1991 et le deuxième, le 23 avril 1991.  Après le premier accident, il a commencé à se plaindre de douleur et de raideur dans le cou et le dos.  Selon le juge Boyd: [TRADUCTION] «Immédiatement avant le deuxième accident de voiture, M. Athey avait admis qu'il était en bonne voie de guérison.  Dans ses dossiers, le chiropraticien indique que [M. Athey] est pratiquement dans l'état où il était avant l'accident.»

 

Après le deuxième accident, M. Athey a continué de travailler à temps plein comme réparateur de carrosserie, mais ne faisait pas de travaux exigeant un grand effort physique.  Selon le juge Boyd, l'appelant a témoigné que son état commençait à s'améliorer quelque peu au mois d'août 1991.  Cependant, pendant qu'il faisait de l'exercice le 11 octobre 1991, il a ressenti un «pop» au dos et une grande douleur a suivi.  Il est allé voir un neurochirurgien; après des traitements conservateurs (analgésiques, repos au lit et physiothérapie), l'appelant a subi une intervention.

 

M. Athey a intenté devant la Cour suprême de la Colombie-Britannique une action en dommages-intérêts pour lésions corporelles et pertes subies en rapport avec ces deux accidents.  Il soutient qu'en raison des blessures subies lors de ces deux accidents, surtout le deuxième, il a souffert d'une hernie du disque L4-5, relativement à laquelle il a dû subir une discectomie.  Le tribunal de première instance a accordé à M. Athey 25 pour 100 des dommages-intérêts liquidés, et la Cour d'appel de la Colombie-Britannique a rejeté l'appel qu'il avait interjeté.

24883    Edward Frank Dawson v. Her Majesty The Queen

 

Criminal law - Family law - Trial - Evidence - Whether the majority of the Court of Appeal erred when it set aside the Appellant’s acquittal and “reluctantly” ordered a new trial, thereby making it possible as a matter of law for a parent who has lawful care, custody and possession of a child at the time of the alleged “taking” to be guilty of abduction pursuant to s. 283 [1992 version] of the Criminal Code ?

 

The Appellant, Edward Dawson, and Judy Seymour began to live together in 1982 and in 1983 had a son, Michael Dawson.  They lived together as a family until 1986.  In late 1986, Ms. Seymour agreed to the Appellant having custody of their son.

 

Ms. Seymour became frustrated with the quality of access permitted by the Appellant.  In 1992, she took up residence in Nova Scotia and retained a lawyer for the purpose of applying for custody. On March 10, 1992, Judge Black of the Family Court granted her an Order for interim access, ordered a hearing on March 18 and ordered the Appellant not to remove the child from the  province.  The Appellant did not appear at the hearing and neither the Appellant or the child could be located.

 

In February 1994, the Appellant was arrested in California and returned to Nova Scotia.  He was charged with disobeying a Court order and with abduction.  At trial, he was convicted of the charge of disobeying a Court order and acquitted on the charge of abduction.  On appeal, the Court of Appeal allowed the Appellant’s appeal from his conviction and the majority of the Court of Appeal allowed the Crown’s appeal against acquittal of the charge of abduction and ordered a new trial.  Jones J.A. dissented on the ground that as Ms. Seymour never had possession of the child there was no taking as contemplated by s. 283  of the Criminal Code .

24883    Edward Frank Dawson c. Sa Majesté la Reine

 

Droit criminel - Droit de la famille - Procès - Preuve - La Cour d'appel à la majorité a-t-elle commis une erreur lorsqu'elle a infirmé l'acquittement de l'appelant et, «à contrecoeur», a ordonné la tenue d'un nouveau procès, rendant ainsi possible en droit qu'un parent qui avait la garde et la possession légitimes d'un enfant au moment de l'«enlèvement» allégué soit coupable d'enlèvement aux termes de l'art. 283 [version de 1992] du Code criminel ?

 

L'appelant, Edward Dawson, et Judy Seymour ont commencé à vivre ensemble en 1982 et, en 1983, ont eu un fils, Michael Dawson.  Ils ont vécu comme une famille jusqu'en 1986.  À la fin de 1986, Mme Seymour a accepté que l'appelant ait la garde de leur fils.

 

Mme Seymour est devenue insatisfaite de la qualité de l'accès permis par l'appelant.  En 1992, elle est allée résider en Nouvelle-Écosse et a retenu les services d'un avocat afin de demander la garde.  Le 10 mars 1992, le juge Black de la Family Court a prononcé une ordonnance intérimaire lui accordant l'accès, fixant la tenue d'une audience le 18 mars et enjoignant à l'appelant de ne pas sortir l'enfant de la province.  L'appelant n'a pas comparu à l'audience et ni lui ni l'enfant n'ont pu être localisés.

 

En février 1994, l'appelant a été arrêté en Californie et renvoyé en Nouvelle-Écosse.  Il a été accusé de désobéissance à une ordonnance judiciaire et d'enlèvement.  Au procès, il a été déclaré coupable relativement à l'accusation de désobéissance à une ordonnance judiciaire et acquitté relativement à l'accusation d'enlèvement.  La Cour d'appel a accueilli l'appel interjeté par l'appelant contre sa déclaration de culpabilité et, à la majorité, elle a accueilli l'appel du ministère public contre l'acquittement relativement à l'accusation d'enlèvement, et a ordonné la tenue d'un nouveau procès.  Le juge Jones a exprimé sa dissidence pour le motif que, puisque Mme Seymour n'a jamais eu la possession de l'enfant, il n'y a pas eu enlèvement comme l'envisage l'art. 283  du Code criminel .

24906Steve Liakas v. Her Majesty The Queen

 

Criminal law -  Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms  - Bankruptcy - Pre-trial procedure - Delay - Stay of proceedings - Whether the Court of Appeal erred in holding that a stay of proceedings cannot be ordered under sections 7  and 24(1)  of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms  absent proof of impairment of an accused’s ability to present a full answer and defence or proof of oppressive or vexatious behaviour on the part of the Crown or the police - Whether the Court of Appeal erred in failing to follow its decision in The Queen v. Engels, unreported, rendered on February 12, 1992?

 

The Appellant, Steve Liakas, went bankrupt in September-October 1990 and learned at the first meeting of creditors that there was a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in attendance.  He thought this fact  probably meant there was a police investigation into his bankruptcy.

 

A sergeant  of the R.C.M.P. testified that a complaint from the alleged victim, the Toronto-Dominion Bank, had been received, but no investigator had been appointed because the major part of the fraud squad was working on the Oka crisis.  The Crown testified that during the spring and summer of 1991, it worked with a representative of the Toronto-Dominion Bank and in September 1991 concluded there was sufficient evidence to force the Appellant to stand trial and prepared a brief.  In March 1992, the file was committed to  the Crown Attorney in the case, but nothing was done until November 15, 1992 because the Crown did not have time to look at the file.  The file brief was prepared by the Crown and given to the Crown in late January 1993 and the information was laid on March 23, 1993, meaning of delay of 2 years, 5 months between the receipt of the complaint and the information laid in Court.

 

The Appellant and his wife testified about the prejudice they suffered during this long delay  of stress, nightmares and hardship.  They were never told during this long period what was going on and suffered from several rumours that circulated about them.

 

The trial judge concluded that this delay, considering the prejudice, was unacceptable, and stayed proceedings according to s. 24(1)  of the Charter.  On appeal, the appeal was allowed and the stay of proceedings was set aside.

24906    Steve Liakas c. Sa Majesté la Reine

 

Droit criminel - Charte canadienne des droits et libertés  - Faillite - Procédure préparatoire au procès - Retard - Arrêt des procédures -  La Cour d'appel a-t-elle commis une erreur en statuant qu'un arrêt des procédures ne peut être ordonné en vertu de l'art. 7  et du par. 24(1)  de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés , en l'absence de preuve qu'un accusé a été empêché de présenter une défense pleine et entière ou en l'absence d'une preuve d'un comportement abusif ou vexatoire de la part du ministère public ou de la police? - La Cour d'appel a-t-elle commis une erreur en omettant de suivre son arrêt La Reine c. Engels, inédit, rendu le 12 février 1992?

 

L'appelant, Steve Liakas, a fait faillite au cours des mois de septembre et d'octobre 1990 et il a appris lors de la première assemblée des créanciers qu'un membre de la Gendarmerie royale du Canada était présent.  Il a pensé que ce fait signifiait probablement que la police enquêtait sur sa faillite.

 

Un sergent de la G.R.C. a témoigné qu'une plainte avait été reçue de la présumée victime, la Banque Toronto-Dominion; cependant, aucun enquêteur n'avait été nommé parce que la majeure partie de l'escouade des fraudes était occupée par la crise d'Oka.  Le ministère public a témoigné qu'il avait, au printemps et à l'été 1991, travaillé avec un représentant de la Banque Toronto-Dominion et qu'il avait conclu en septembre 1991 qu'il existait suffisamment de preuve pour contraindre l'appelant à subir un procès et il a rédigé un mémoire.  En mars 1992, le dossier a été transmis au substitut du procureur général dans l'affaire, mais rien n'a été fait jusqu'au 15 novembre 1992 parce que le substitut n'avait pas eu le temps d'examiner le dossier.  Le mémoire a été rédigé par le substitut du procureur général et remis au ministère public à la fin de janvier 1993; la dénonciation a été déposée le 23 mars 1993, soit un délai de deux ans et cinq mois entre le moment de la réception de la plainte et celui du dépôt de la dénonciation.

 

L'appelant et son épouse ont témoigné relativement au préjudice qu'ils avaient subi au cours de cette longue période: stress, cauchemars et difficultés.  Ils n'ont jamais été informés au cours de cette période de ce qui se passait et ils ont souffert à cause de plusieurs rumeurs ayant circulé à leur sujet.

 

Le juge de première instance a conclu que ce retard était, compte tenu du préjudice, inacceptable, et il a ordonné un arrêt des procédures conformément au par. 24(1)  de la Charte.  L'appel interjeté a été accueilli et l'arrêt des procédures a été annulé.

24784    Shaun Edward Rockey v. Her Majesty The Queen

 

Criminal law - Trial - Evidence - Rule against hearsay - Whether a finding of necessity was inevitable on the evidence so that the first out-of-court statement of the complainant was admissible notwithstanding the Court of Appeal found the trial judge erred in basing his finding of necessity on an assumption that the Crown would not call the complainant as a witness - Whether the majority in the Court of Appeal erred in concluding that even if the complainant had been called as a witness it would not have affected the outcome of the case - Whether it was harmless error of the trial judge to admit numerous out-of-court statements which had not been subjected to a voir dire because they were admitted to provide the jury for a full context of the statements whether the complainant’s father was present or absent at the time of the alleged assault - Whether the charge to the jury was adequate with respect to the use the jury could make of those out-of-court statements of the complainant that had been admitted without a voir dire

 

The Appellant was a friend of the complainant’s father.  On the evening of June 19, 1991,  the father asked the Appellant to babysit while he ran some errands.  The child was left alone with the Appellant from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm and was asleep on the sofa when the father returned.  In the following days, the child complained that his bum was sore.  Two days later he told his mother that the Appellant had hurt his bum and “put his peter in his bum”.  The child was two and a half years old.  He was seen by a pediatrician who confirmed that there had been injury to the child’s anus, consistent with the insertion of an object.

 

The admissibility of some of the complainant’s statements were the subject of a voir dire in which the Crown tendered seven statements for admission and McGarry J. ruled that two of the statements were admissible.  A second voir dire was held after the child had given contradictory accounts on whether his father had been present at the alleged time, where the trial judge confirmed his earlier ruling.  The trial proceeded as though the first ruling had not been made.  All the witness testified, without objection and without a voir dire about statements made by the child.

 

The Appellant was convicted of sexual assault causing bodily harm.  On appeal, the majority of the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal.  Doherty J.A. dissenting held the erroneous admission of the complainant’s out-of-court statements resulted in reversible error and would have ordered a new trial.

24784    Shaun Edward Rockey c. Sa Majesté la Reine

 

Droit criminel - Procès - Preuve - Règle du ouï-dire - Compte tenu de la preuve, une conclusion de nécessité était-elle inévitable, rendant ainsi la première déclaration extrajudiciaire du plaignant admissible même si la Cour d'appel a conclu que le juge de première instance avait commis une erreur en fondant sa conclusion de nécessité sur l'hypothèse que le ministère public n'assignerait pas le plaignant à témoigner? - La Cour d'appel à la majorité a-t-elle commis une erreur en concluant que l'assignation à témoigner du plaignant n'aurait pas changé l'issue du procès? - Le juge de première instance a-t-il commis une erreur inoffensive lorsqu'il a admis les nombreuses déclarations extrajudiciaires qui n'avaient pas fait l'objet d'un voir-dire parce qu'elles avaient été admises dans le but de présenter au jury le contexte général des déclarations visant à déterminer si le père du plaignant était présent ou absent au moment de l'agression reprochée? - Le jury a-t-il reçu des directives adéquates relativement à l'utilisation qu'il pouvait faire des déclarations extrajudiciaires du plaignant, qui avaient été admises sans la tenue d'un voir-dire?

 

L'appelant était un ami du père du plaignant.  Dans la soirée du 19 juin 1991, le père a demandé à l'appelant s'il voulait bien garder l'enfant pendant qu'il allait faire des courses.  L'enfant est demeuré seul avec l'appelant entre 20 et 22 heures; il était endormi sur le sofa au retour du père.  Dans les jours qui ont suivi, l'enfant s'est plaint d'avoir mal aux fesses.  Deux jours plus tard, il a dit à sa mère que l'appelant lui avait fait mal aux fesses et qu'il [TRADUCTION] «avait mis son pénis dans ses fesses».  L'enfant était alors âgé de deux ans et demi.  L'enfant a été amené chez un pédiatre qui a confirmé que l'enfant avait subi à l'anus une lésion susceptible d'avoir été provoquée par l'insertion d'un objet.

 

L'admissibilité de certaines des déclarations du plaignant a été examinée lors d'un voir-dire au cours duquel le ministère public a déposé sept déclarations à des fins d'admission; le juge McGarry a statué que deux de ces déclarations étaient admissibles.  Un deuxième voir-dire a eu lieu lorsque l'enfant a donné un récit contradictoire quant à savoir si son père était présent au moment de l'incident en question; le juge de première instance a confirmé sa première décision.  Le procès s'est poursuivi comme si la première décision n'avait pas été rendue.  Toutes les personnes ont témoigné, sans objection et sans qu'il y ait un voir-dire relativement aux déclarations faites par l'enfant.

 

L'appelant a été déclaré coupable d'agression sexuelle causant des lésions corporelles.  En appel, la Cour d'appel à la majorité a rejeté l'appel.  Le juge Doherty, dissident, a statué que l'admission erronée des déclarations extrajudiciaires du plaignant a donné lieu à une erreur justifiant révision et il aurait ordonné la tenue d'un nouveau procès.

Criminal law - Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms  - Seizure - Evidence - Warrantless search  - Narcotics - Whether the trial judge overlooked or disregarded material evidence about the timing of the tipster’s information? - Whether the appellate court overstated the test regarding the reliability of the tipster’s information? - Whether Dr. MacKenzie’s opinion was based on information not proven at trial? - Whether the appellate court erred in holding that the warrantless search was not in violation of s. 8  of the Charter? - Whether the grounds on which the appellate court set aside the acquittal are questions of law alone within the meaning of s. 676(1) (a) of the Criminal Code 

 

The police received information from two tipsters that the Appellant, Michael McKarris, was travelling to Halifax in his blue van, returning with hashish and distributing it in Charlottetown.  The information also disclosed that the Appellant would be going again soon.  A week later, the police received notice that the Appellant was on board the ferry that was due to dock in about 15 minutes with narcotics.  The  police did not obtain a search warrant, but stopped the Appellant’s vehicle after it left the docking area.  The police reported a strong smell of hashish coming from the vehicle.  When the officers attempted to open the doors, the Appellant accelerated his vehicle and attempted to flee.  Once the van was stopped, the Appellant was arrested.  A search of the vehicle uncovered a quantity of hashish.

 

At the commencement of the trial, a voir dire was held to determine whether the police had reasonable grounds to believe that an offence was being committed.  The trial judge held that the search and seizure violated s. 8  of the Charter and refused to admit the evidence.  The trial judge then acquitted the Appellant on the two charges.  On the Crown’s appeal, the Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, set aside the acquittals and ordered a new trial.

Droit criminel - Charte canadienne des droits et libertés  - Saisie - Preuve - Perquisition sans mandat - Stupéfiants - Le juge de première instance a-t-il ignoré la preuve substantielle quant au moment de la communication de renseignements par l'indicateur? - La cour d'appel a-t-elle accordé trop d'importance au critère concernant la fiabilité des renseignements de l'indicateur? - L'opinion du  Dr MacKenzie était-elle fondée sur des renseignements non prouvés au procès? - La cour d'appel a-t-elle commis une erreur en statuant que la perquisition sans mandat ne contrevenait pas à l'art. 8  de la Charte? - Les motifs sur lesquels la cour d'appel s'est fondée pour annuler l'acquittement sont-ils des questions de droit seulement au sens de l'al. 676(1) a) du Code criminel ?

 

Deux indicateurs ont dit à la police que l'appelant, Michael MacKarris, se rendait à Halifax dans sa fourgonnette bleue, qu'il revenait avec du hachisch et le distribuait à Charlottetown.  Les indicateurs avaient aussi dit à la police que l'appelant y retournerait sous peu.  Une semaine plus tard, la police a été avisée que l'appelant était à bord d'un traversier devant accoster dans une quinzaine de minutes, et qu'il avait avec lui des stupéfiants.  La police n'a pas obtenu de mandat de perquisition, mais a arrêté le véhicule de l'appelant lorsqu'il a quitté le quai.  Les policiers ont dit avoir décelé une forte odeur de hachisch émanant du véhicule.  Lorsque les policiers ont tenté d'ouvrir les portes, l'appelant a accéléré et a tenté de s'enfuir.  Lorsque la fourgonnette a été stoppée, l'appelant a été arrêté.  Lors de la perquisition du véhicule, les policiers y ont découvert une certaine quantité de hachisch.

 

Au début du procès, le tribunal a tenu un voir-dire pour déterminer si la police avait des motifs raisonnables de croire qu'une infraction était en train d'être commise.  Le juge de première instance a statué que la perquisition et la saisie contrevenaient à l'art. 8  de la Charte, et il a refusé d'admettre la preuve.  Le juge de première instance a alors acquitté l'appelant relativement aux deux actes d'accusation.  La Cour d'appel a accueilli l'appel interjeté par le ministère public, annulé les acquittements et ordonné la tenue d'un nouveau procès.

24932Norman Terry Clement v. Her Majesty The Queen

 

Criminal law - Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms  - Evidence - Detention - Seizure - Whether the trial judge misconstrued the onus in deciding whether to exclude evidence? - Whether there was a detention prior to the search in which the Appellant’s s. 10(b) right was violated? - Whether the alleged detention was arbitrary within the meaning of s. 9  of the Charter? - Whether the search constituted an unreasonable search and seizure? - Whether the gun ought to have been excluded from evidence pursuant to a s. 24(2)  analysis and what if any significance ought to be placed on the fact that the Appellant pleaded guilty to a separate charge of possession of a restricted weapon?

 

The Appellant, Norman Clement, was driving with a passenger south from Kirkland Lake on Highway 11 when he was stopped by two police officers in August 1991.  The radio dispatch had reported that the occupants had tried to sell cocaine in Kirkland Lake.  The police approached the Appellant and requested to be allowed to search the vehicle.  The police testified that the Appellant said yes. The police then escorted the Appellant and his passenger to the cruiser. There is a discrepancy on whether the Appellant requested the warmth of the cruiser or was asked to sit there.

 

One officer searched the vehicle and within seconds found a hand gun under the driver’s seat.  After the gun was found, the Appellant and his passenger were charged with possession of a restricted weapon, without a license.  The police then informed the Appellant as to his right to counsel and the Appellant exercised it.  There was a second search of the car at the police station where the Appellant consulted counsel and did give consent in writing and assisted the police in the search of the trunk.  The Appellant alleged that the consent was limited to the search of the trunk.  The police continued their search and found a rubber mask, which was alleged to have been worn by a robber of convenience stores in Kirkland Lake.

 

Before the trial on these charges, the Appellant pleaded guilty to a separate charge of possession of a restricted weapon.  At trial, the trial judge found on a voir dire that the ss. 9 and 10 rights of the

Appellant were breached, but that the evidence of the gun and mask should be admitted.  The Appellant was found guilty of charges arising from two of the four robberies.  On appeal, the majority dismissed the Appellant’s appeal.  Carthy J.A. dissented and held that the right of the Appellant under s. 10(b)  of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms  was violated in circumstances that would render the trial unfair if the evidence of the finding of the handgun were admitted.

24932Norman Terry Clement c. Sa Majesté la Reine

 

Droit criminel - Charte canadienne des droits et libertés  - Preuve - Détention ‑ Saisie - Le juge du procès a-t-il mal interprété le fardeau de preuve pour décider s'il fallait écarter la preuve? - Y a-t-il eu détention avant la fouille au cours de laquelle a été violé le droit reconnu à l'appelant par l'al. 10b)? ‑ La détention alléguée était-elle arbitraire au sens de l'art. 9  de la Charte? ‑ La fouille constituait-elle une fouille, perquisition ou saisie abusive? ‑ L'arme à feu aurait-elle dû être écartée de la preuve conformément au par. 24(2)  et quelle importance, le cas échéant, faut-il accorder au fait que l'appelant a plaidé coupable relativement à une accusation distincte de possession d'arme à autorisation restreinte?

 

L'appelant, Norman Clement, circulait accompagné d'un passager au sud de Kirkland Lake sur la route 11 lorsque son véhicule a été intercepté par deux policiers en août 1991.  Un message radio avait rapporté que les occupants avaient essayé de vendre de la cocaïne à Kirkland Lake.  Les policiers se sont approchés de l'appelant et ont demandé l'autorisation de fouiller le véhicule.  Les policiers ont témoigné que l'appelant a accepté.  Les policiers ont alors escorté l'appelant et son passager jusqu'à la voiture de patrouille.  Il y a divergence quant à savoir si l'appelant a demandé à monter dans la voiture de patrouille ou si on lui a demandé d'y prendre place.

 

Un agent a fouillé le véhicule et en quelques secondes a trouvé une arme de poing sous le siège du conducteur.  Après cette découverte, l'appelant et son passager ont été accusés de possession sans permis d'une arme à autorisation restreinte.  Les policiers ont alors avisé l'appelant de son droit à l'assistance d'un avocat, droit que l'appelant a exercé.  L'auto a été fouillée une deuxième fois au poste de police où l'appelant a consulté un avocat et donné un consentement écrit et a aidé les policiers à fouiller le coffre.  L'appelant a allégué que le consentement était limité à la fouille du coffre.  Les policiers ont continué leur fouille et ont trouvé un masque de caoutchouc qui, a-t-on allégué, a été porté par l'auteur du vol d'un dépanneur à Kirkland Lake.

 

Avant le procès sur ces accusations, l'appelant a plaidé coupable relativement à une accusation distincte de possession d'une arme à autorisation restreinte.  Au procès, le juge a conclu après un voir-dire qu'il y avait eu violation des droits reconnus à l'appelant par les art. 9 et 10, mais que les éléments de preuve que sont l'arme et le masque devaient être admis.  L'appelant a été reconnu coupable d'accusations découlant de deux des quatre vols qualifiés.  La Cour d'appel à la majorité a rejeté l'appel de l'appelant.  Le juge Carthy, dissident, a conclu que le droit reconnu à l'appelant par l'al. 10 b )  de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés  a été violé dans des circonstances qui rendraient le procès non équitable si la preuve de la découverte de l'arme de poing était admise.
