The defendant was charged with driving while under suspension contrary to section 53(1) of the Highway Traffic Act.
The Crown proved that the defendant's driver's licence was suspended at the time of the offence through Ministry of Transportation certificates and officer testimony.
The defence challenged the identification of the defendant, arguing that the Crown failed to prove an essential element of the offence.
The court found the identification evidence probative and sufficient, distinguishing the case from precedents involving false identification charges.
The defendant was convicted.
