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.

In the New Brunswick Provincial Court, the applicant, Ms. Landry, was convicted of an offence under the Fisheries Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. F-14. The Court of Queen’s Bench dismissed her appeal. The applicant then appealed to the New Brunswick Court of Appeal. At the respondent’s request, the Registrar referred the applicant’s notice of appeal to the Court of Appeal for consideration under s. 685 of the Criminal Code, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-46, which permits the summary dismissal of an appeal based on an unfounded ground of law. The Court of Appeal was of the view that this provision applied and dismissed the appeal summarily.
