The court held that the CCAA stay applied to a customs bond issued for the Teal-Jones group and barred Intact from terminating the bond because of the insolvency proceedings.
Appellate court concluded the trial judge did not err: although ss.8 and 10(b) Charter rights were breached, the officers had minimal but sufficient reasonable grounds under s.98, the seized packages were not conscriptive evidence or were discoverable, and after applying the Collins factors the trial judge reasonably declined to exclude the evidence under s.24(2); appeal dismissed and conviction and sentence upheld.
