Unanimous Judgment Read By — Rowe J.
Rowe J. — The accused appeals as of right a decision by the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal relating to his conviction for sexual assault. Justice Kalmakoff, for the majority, dismissed the appeal and affirmed the conviction. Justice Barrington-Foote, dissenting, would have ordered a new trial.
Before this Court, as before the Court of Appeal, counsel for the accused submitted that the trial judge erred by failing to provide sufficient reasons for the verdict, and erred in law in assessing the complainant’s evidence. We would dismiss the appeal, substantially for the reasons of the majority of the Court of Appeal.
