Supreme Court of Canada orders new trials for drug-related arrests in Quebec, upholding Court of Appeal's decision.
The Supreme Court of Canada has ordered new trials for individuals arrested for drug-related offences in Quebec, after a judge improperly stayed charges against them eight years ago. The arrests involved more than two dozen people, with the accused divided into four groups for separate hearings. The Court of Appeal had previously set aside the initial judgments and ordered a new trial, including a fresh hearing on the motion for a stay. The Supreme Court's ruling upholds the Court of Appeal's decision.
