The appellant appealed a conviction for operating a motor vehicle while impaired by a drug.
Police found the appellant asleep at the wheel of a running vehicle.
While there was overwhelming evidence of impairment, the Crown failed to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the impairment was caused by a drug.
The court found no evidence, other than labels on pill bottles, that the bottles contained the stated drugs or that those drugs were in the appellant's system.
The appeal was allowed, and the conviction was dismissed.
