The appellant, a member of the Armed Forces, was charged with trafficking in narcotics.
The President of the Standing Court Martial ordered a stay of proceedings based on the defence of entrapment.
The Court Martial Appeal Court quashed the stay, finding the President misunderstood the test for entrapment.
On appeal as of right to the Supreme Court of Canada, the Court found no reversible error in the President's decision, allowed the appeal, and restored the stay of proceedings.
