|
| 2013-01-17 | Order on motion to strike out, (BY LEBEL J.) | |
| 2013-01-17 |
Decision on motion to strike out, LeB, UPON APPLICATION by the respondent for an order striking paragraphs 1, 2 and 5 to 29 of the factum of the intervener, British Columbia Civil Liberties Association or in the alternative, for an order to have a constitutional question stated and to adjourn this appeal; AND HAVING READ the material filed; IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: In my view, the factum of the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association does not raise a new issue, but focuses instead on what the R. v. Kang Brown, [2008] 1 S.C.R. 456 standard governing sniffer dog searches means and what its consequences and weaknesses may be. The factum does not go beyond the legitimate scope of an intervention in the context of this appeal. Interveners often comment on the state of the law, how it functions or why and how it should be reformed. That is the essence of an intervener’s role in this Court and that is what the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association’s intervention is doing in this appeal. For these reasons, I would dismiss the motion to strike parts of its factum, and I would not give effect to the alternative request to adjourn the hearing of the appeal in order to permit the parties to file a motion to state a constitutional question. Dismissed, no order as to costs |

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.
Charter of Rights Criminal law Search and seizure Freedom from unreasonable search and seizure Sniff search of suitcase by sniffer dog led to discovery of drugs Whether police conduct violated s. 8 of the Charter Whether the evidence should have been excluded pursuant to s. 24(2) of the Charter.
The appellant, Mr. Chehil, was travelling by plane from Vancouver to Halifax. His travel patterns raised the suspicion of the police. When Mr. Chehil arrived, the police deployed a sniffer dog to smell his suitcase. The dog identified the suitcase, as well as a cooler immediately next to the suitcase, as containing narcotics. Mr. Chehil was arrested, his suitcase was searched and a large quantity of cocaine was discovered. The cooler was also searched but did not contain drugs. The trial judge held that the search violated Mr. Chehil’s Charter rights. He concluded that the specific facts of the case did not meet the “reasonable suspicion” standard for deploying a drug sniffer dog, and that even if the use of the dog was Charter compliant, the dog’s incorrect indication of drugs in the cooler undermined his reliability such that his positive indication of drugs in the suitcase did not give rise to reasonable grounds to believe the suitcase contained drugs. The drugs were excluded, resulting in an acquittal. The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal and ordered a new trial.
