Citation: R. v. Wilder Date: 19990412 1999 BCCA 253 Docket: CA025231 Registry: Vancouver COURT OF APPEAL FOR BRITISH COLUMBIA ORAL REASONS FOR JUDGMENT: Before: THE HONOURABLE MADAM JUSTICE SOUTHIN April 12, 1999 THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CUMMING THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE BRAIDWOOD Vancouver, B.C. BETWEEN: R E G I N A APPELLANT AND: DARA M. WILDER RESPONDENT C. Stolte and B. Harper appearing for the (Crown) Appellant D. Wilder appearing on her own behalf [1] SOUTHIN, J.: We have considered there is a problem with the state of this appeal. [2] We are of the view that this was a case in which the Crown should have made an application to dispense with the requirement of the Rules relating to filing a transcript of the proceedings and appeal books. Mr. Wilder should have had the opportunity to oppose that application. [3] Therefore, the Crown should make such an application in chambers regarding the filing of transcripts, upon proper notice to Mr. Wilder, and the chambers judge will address it, which requires of course that this appeal be now adjourned. [4] CUMMING, J.A. I agree. [5] BRAIDWOOD, J.A. I agree. [6] SOUTHIN, J.A. This appeal is adjourned. "The Honourable Madam Justice Southin"
