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 was charged with 18 offences arising out of a home invasion related to the enforcement of a drug debt. The matter was repeatedly set down for trial and adjourned numerous times as the applicant retained and discharged different counsel. After he discharged his last lawyer in the middle of his trial, the trial judge refused the applicant’s request for another adjournment. The applicant then pleaded guilty, with the Crown’s consent, to possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a firearm. He was sentenced to a term of imprisonment. The applicant filed an appeal from his convictions, alleging that he was pressured into entering the guilty pleas and that his Charter rights had been breached. The Court of Appeal dismissed his appeal.
