The appellant's apartment was searched by police under a writ of assistance, resulting in the seizure of illicit drugs and cash.
The appellant argued the search violated section 8 of the Charter and sought to exclude the evidence under section 24(2).
Assuming the search was unreasonable because writs of assistance were constitutionally inadequate, the Supreme Court of Canada applied the principles from R. v. Collins.
The Court concluded that admitting the evidence would not bring the administration of justice into disrepute, as the officers acted in good faith under a statute not yet declared unconstitutional and had reasonable grounds for the search.
The appeal was dismissed.
