The accused brought a Charter application seeking to exclude drugs and cash seized by police at a hospital after he was treated for a gunshot wound.
The court found that hospital staff were not acting as state agents when they collected the accused's belongings during emergency treatment.
The subsequent police seizure of the items was lawful, and a minor administrative breach regarding post-seizure reporting did not warrant exclusion of the evidence under section 24(2) of the Charter.
The application was dismissed.
