Ravirajan Perinpanayagam
Appellant
Before: Laskin, Gillese and Juriansz JJ.A.
Counsel:
Alison Craig, for the appellant
Melissa Adams, for the respondent
Heard: November 3, 2009
On appeal from the judgment of Justice A.W. Bryant of the Superior Court of Justice dated May 29, 2009.
APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
1This is an appeal from the decision of the summary conviction appeal judge dismissing the appellant’s appeal of his conviction for impaired care and control of a motor vehicle.
2The summary conviction appeal judge found that the trial judge’s decision was not based on how long it takes a person to wake up but was based on his many factual findings summarized at paragraph 2 of the appeal judge’s findings.
3It seems to us that the appellant’s argument that the trial judge reversed the burden of proof is simply a reprise of his first argument and fails for the same reason.
4The appeal is dismissed.
