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, Mr. Beauregard, contacted the complainant to express interest in purchasing his automobile. They agreed to meet at a branch of the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec to proceed with the transfer of the vehicle. It was then agreed that Mr. Beauregard would take the complainant back to his house. Once they arrived, Mr. Beauregard asked the complainant if he could use his bathroom. Before entering the complainant’s house, Mr. Beauregard turned back and left with the vehicle, without having paid him. In the context of the investigation, Mr. Beauregard presented a sales contract signed by the complainant. The complainant claimed that he had never seen this document and that he had not signed anything.
At trial, the judge applied W.(D.) and convicted Mr. Beauregard of the offences alleged against him. The Superior Court found that no error had been committed by the trial judge, and the Court of Appeal dismissed the application for leave to appeal. It stated that the grounds raised by Mr. Beauregard were not serious and that none of the questions he raised was important for the administration of justice.
