The appellant challenged the issuance of a summons by a justice of the peace, arguing that the justice's revocable appointment violated section 7 of the Charter.
The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal, noting that the relevant provisions of the Courts of Justice Act were not challenged under section 52 of the Constitution Act, 1982.
The Court held there was no evidence that the justice of the peace violated any of the appellant's section 7 rights in the exercise of her duties.
