A P P E A L B O O K E N D O R S E M E N T

[1] In the pre-trial motion under appeal, the appellant again argues that because the offences are alleged to have occurred in the 1970’s, the law as it was then ought to apply, including the requirements for corroboration.

[2] As in his prior appeal (C42471), the appellant seeks a ruling from this court regarding a decision in a pre-trial motion.

[3] As in the prior appeal, the order is an interlocutory order made in an indictable proceeding and is not appealable until the conclusion of the trial.

[4] The appeal is quashed. “J.M. Labrosse J.A.”

“M. Moldaver J.A.”

“E.A. Cronk J.A.”
