Court of Appeal for Ontario

R. v. Callan

Date: 2000-09-27

Counsel for the accused not disclosed;

Alex Alvaro, for the respondent.

(C.A. No. C32094)

[1] By the Court: It may be that 15 years, the starting point in the trial judge's reasons, was at the upper end of the range but we cannot say that it was outside the range. No error in principle is shown.

[2] Leave to appeal is granted. The appeal is dismissed.

[3] The respondent concedes that there is an error in the imposition of lifetime firearms prohibition. No notice given. It should have been for 10 years. Notwithstanding the dismissal of the appeal this portion of the sentence is varied in accordance with these reasons.

Order accordingly.
