The appellant media organization challenged a publication ban imposed during a young offender's trial involving sexual offence allegations by two child complainants.
The Supreme Court held that there was no direct third-party right of appeal from the interlocutory criminal order to the provincial court of appeal.
The proper route was certiorari to a superior court judge because the order was made by a provincial court judge, with any further appeal proceeding under s. 784(1) of the Criminal Code.
The appeal was therefore dismissed for want of jurisdiction, and the Court declined to review the publication ban order itself.
