Lower Court Not Bound By Appeal Court?

by: hwybear on

Interesting part for cases to come. Here is part of a decision out of a Sudbury.


************

At the onset of trial, the defendant's agent requested the proceedings be stayed as per the recent decision of R. v. Raham 2009 ONCJ 403 (ONT.C.J), where section 3.7 of Ontario Regulation 455/07 was deemed unconstitutional. The proscutions position was that the above noted decision, made by the Ontario Court of Justice, was not binding on this court and in suppoort of his position, referenced the decision of Cuddy Chicks Ltd v Ontario in which the Supreme Court indicated that only a Superior Court Judge could make a declatory order.


*************

Trial proceeded.

So now we will waste more court time later with an appeal??? Makes sense to me.

I thought they were... guess either I learned something new or we've got a lot of Justices/JPs living in a yellow submarine. :shock:


I think, if anything, the whole s. 172/appeals/unconstitutional/etc has revealed that our judicial system is a Gong Show. Wow.
