The appellant appealed his conviction for driving a motor vehicle on Highway 401 while performing a stunt, specifically driving at a rate of speed greater than 50 kilometres per hour over the posted speed limit, contrary to Section 172(1) of the Highway Traffic Act.
The appellant raised two main grounds of appeal: that the verdict was unreasonable and unsupported by evidence, and that the Justice of the Peace failed to properly apply the W.D. test to credibility assessment.
The appellate court upheld the conviction, finding that the evidence was sufficient to support the findings regarding both identity and speed, and that the trial judge properly considered credibility and applied the appropriate legal standards.
