The applicant brought an application for certiorari to quash his committal for trial on charges of attempted murder and transferring a firearm.
He argued the preliminary inquiry judge committed jurisdictional errors by allowing the Crown to re-open its case and by improperly weighing after-the-fact conduct evidence.
The Superior Court dismissed the application, finding that the decision to re-open the case was an evidentiary ruling not subject to certiorari, and that there was some evidence upon which the judge could reasonably order committal on the attempted murder charge.
