The appellant appealed a conviction for conspiracy to possess a narcotic for the purpose of trafficking, challenging the validity of a wiretap authorization.

The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal, holding that the authorization adequately described the manner of interception in accordance with the Criminal Code, as established in the Wiretap Reference and Lyons v. The Queen.

The appellant appealed a decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal that allowed the Crown's appeal from an acquittal on a charge of conspiring to traffic in a controlled drug.

The trial judge had allowed a motion for non-suit.

The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal, agreeing with the Court of Appeal's conclusion and reasons that a new trial was required.
