The appellant appealed as of right from a judgment of the Quebec Court of Appeal, which had allowed the Crown's appeal from his acquittal on charges of indecent assault and sexual assault and ordered a new trial.
The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal, agreeing with the Court of Appeal's reasons regarding the trial judge's errors on corroboration, the subjective test for indecent assault, and the exclusion of a psychologist's evidence.
The Court noted that at the new trial, the Crown would need to qualify the psychologist as an expert witness for her testimony to be admissible.
