1998-10-16 Judgment on the appeal rendered, Co McL Ia Ma Ba, Cory J. (orally for the Court): We are all of the view that on the facts of this case the appellant, a trespasser in the fields in question, had no reasonable expectations of privacy. The decisions of this Court in Edwards and Belnavis are applicable. It follows that it is not necessary to consider s.24(2) of the Charter. Nor do we find any merit in the alternative argument that there was a breach of s. 7 or 11(d) of the Charter . The appeal is therefore dismissed.
Dismissed, no order as to costs
