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, Dwayne Campbell, together with a co-accused, participated in a home invasion on December 19, 2016. The trial regarding the charges relating to the event was scheduled to commence on July 8, 2019, following two prior adjourned trials as a result of the co-accused’s conduct. The applicant applied for a stay of proceedings for violation of s. 11(b) of the Charter. The application judge dismissed the application. The applicant was convicted of two counts of robbery, two counts of forcible confinement and use of an imitation firearm in the commission of an offence. He appealed the convictions and alleged that the application judged erred in dismissing his application. The Court of Appeal for Ontario unanimously dismissed the appeal.
