The appellant appealed his conviction for possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace.
He argued that the trial judge's reasons were insufficient under the Sheppard standard and that she erred in interpreting the elements of the offence under section 88 of the Criminal Code.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding the trial judge's reasons clear and comprehensive, and her interpretation of section 88 consistent with the Supreme Court of Canada's analysis in R. v. Kerr.
