Canada’s Supreme Court on Tuesday announced two cases it will hear during its visit to the Quebec courthouse next September.
Judges of the nation’s highest court will consider the case of a Quebec resident arrested for driving while disabled.
Pascal Breault was finally acquitted because the police did not have a detection device to take a breath sample.
Cultivation of cannabis at home
The Court will also hear the case of Janick Murray-Hall, who is challenging the ban on home cannabis cultivation in Quebec.
The Superior Court agreed with him, before the Court of Appeal saw that this decision had been overturned.
In addition to the seating, Supreme Court judges will take part in several events to meet the population to better understand their role.
Awareness -raising activities will also take place in schools and in the legal community.
The passage of the Supreme Court in Quebec will take place from September 12 to 16. The highest court in the country will sit outside Ottawa for only the second time in its history.
The trial was postponed
Because the hearings will take place in the courthouse’s largest room, the trial of Michael Chicoine, which will begin at this time, has been postponed by a week.
The Wendake man accused of killing his two children will face trial starting Sept. 19.
