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.
The applicant, who at the time was represented by a lawyer, pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal harassment of two individuals. He later applied for leave to appeal the convictions to the Court of Appeal, but his motion was struck from the roll for lack of jurisdiction. On appeal to the Superior Court, his arguments were based, inter alia, on the [TRANSLATION] “incivility of the ecclesiastical authorities”, the “involuntary” nature of his admissions of guilt, failure to protect his identity and “journalistic excess”. The court dismissed the appeal on the ground that the applicant had not proved the professional incompetence of the lawyer who had represented him or the fact that she had misled him about the consequences of the pleas.
