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 – Appeal – Leave to Appeal – Whether applicant raises a legal issue – Whether issue is of public importance.

Mr. Gregory was convicted of second degree murder for killing a bartender at a Legion. He and the bartender argued when the bartender asked him to leave the premises. The bartender shoved Mr. Gregory off a stool. Mr. Gregory punched the bartender in the head, delivered further punches, and struck the bartender in the head three times with a fire extinguisher. At trial, defence counsel raised a defence of provocation. Neither defence counsel nor the trial judge addressed whether Mr. Gregory was incapable of forming the mens rea required to convict for murder because of intoxication.
