Summary

Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.


Criminal law – Impaired driving – Driving “over 80” – Whether the trial judge erred in convicting the applicant – Whether the Court of Appeal erred in denying leave to appeal.

The applicant, Ms. Rana, was convicted of impaired driving and “over 80”. The “over 80” charge was conditionally stayed and Ms. Rana was sentenced to a $1000 fine and a 12-month driving prohibition. Ms. Rana appealed her conviction, alleging various errors relating to the way in which her trial was conducted and to the judge’s findings and ultimate conclusions. Her appeal was dismissed, as was her application for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal.
