   v. (22691/22738)

 

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

 

 

La Forest J. (orally for the Court) ‐‐ It will not be necessary to hear from you Mr. Butt.  The Court is ready to hand down judgment.  The judgment will be pronounced by Mr. Justice Cory.

 

Cory J. ‐‐ It may be that we would not agree with the reasons of the Court of Appeal on the issue of waiver.  However we are in substantial agreement with the balance of their reasoning and the result they reached.  Clearly the complexity of this case is an important factor that must be taken into account in considering the question of delay.

 

 

 

                In the circumstances the appeal will be dismissed and an Order will go expediting the trial.

Le juge La Forest (oralement au nom de la Cour) ‐‐ Il ne sera pas nécessaire de vous entendre Me Butt.  La Cour est prête à rendre jugement, lequel sera prononcé par le juge Cory.

 

Le juge Cory ‐‐ Il se peut que nous ne souscrivions pas aux motifs de la Cour d'appel sur la question de la renonciation.  Cependant, nous sommes d'accord, pour l'essentiel, avec le reste de son raisonnement et avec le résultat auquel elle est arrivée.  Il est évident que la complexité de cette affaire est un facteur important dont il faut tenir compte en examinant la question du délai.

 

                Dans les circonstances, le pourvoi sera rejeté et une ordonnance hâtant la tenue du procès sera rendue.

Pierre Poulin, Claude Provost pour l'appelante.

 

 

 

Philip Schneider pour l'intimé.

 

 

Le juge en chef (oralement) ‐‐ Me Poulin, malgré votre excellente présentation nous sommes d'avis de rejeter ce pourvoi.

 

                Nous sommes pour l'essentiel d'accord avec les juges de la majorité en Cour d'appel.

 

                Il n'y a pas de preuve de la présence d'un retardant autre que de la spéculation à cet égard.  Cet absence totale de preuve rend déraisonnable la conclusion du juge de première instance que l'accusé avait l'occasion exclusive de mettre le feu, un conclusion nécessaire à une condamnation eu égard aux faits mis en preuve en l'espèce.

 

 

                Le pourvoi est rejeté.

The Chief Justice (orally) ‐‐ Despite your excellent presentation, Mr. Poulin, we are of the view that this appeal should be dismissed.

 

                We essentially agree with the majority judges in the Court of Appeal.

 

                There is no evidence of the presence of a retardant, other than speculation in this regard.  This total lack of evidence makes the trial judge's conclusion that the accused had the only opportunity to set the fire unreasonable, and this conclusion is necessary for a conviction having regard to the facts adduced in evidence in this case.

 

                The appeal is dismissed.
