The respondents were convicted of voting in a voting place where they were not entitled to vote and furnishing false information under the Municipal Elections Act.
The summary conviction appeal judge quashed the convictions, finding the Crown failed to prove the voting subdivisions and election officials were properly established under the Act.
The Court of Appeal allowed the Crown's appeal and restored the convictions, holding that the Crown did not need to prove the establishment of voting subdivisions for these specific charges, and that the written delegations to election officials were sufficient.
