Although the judge may have used language associated with the first category of stay, on rehearing applying the correct principles and balancing the competing public interests the court concluded the prosecution's reversal was not in bad faith, a fair trial remained possible, and the integrity/public interest in prosecuting a serious offensive-weapon offence outweighed the prejudice to the appellant; accordingly the refusal to grant a permanent stay was upheld.
