The appellant appealed his conviction for defrauding a bank of a sum exceeding $1,000.
The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal, with the majority agreeing with the Court of Appeal.
The dissenting judges would have allowed the appeal and ordered a new trial on an amended indictment, finding that while the Crown established the appellant obtained an extension of credit by deceit, the indictment was not framed that way and the Crown failed to show the accused was not misled in his defence.
