The accused appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada.
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and restored the acquittals, finding that the trial judge did not commit any error of law that would give rise to a Crown appeal under s. 676(1)(a) of the Criminal Code, and that the Court of Appeal erred in substituting its own assessment of the facts for that of the trial judge.
