Majority
English version of the judgment of the Court delivered orally by
Lamer J.
Lamer J. ‑‑ It will not be necessary to hear from you, Mr. Boileau, as we are ready to render judgment.
In view of the unusual situation the C.T.C.U.M. special constables were in, since the applicable legislation does not give them the authority to make an arrest without a warrant in the circumstances of this case, we all essentially agree with the Court of Appeal, and the appeal is dismissed.
Judgment accordingly.
Solicitors for the appellant: Germain Tremblay and Jean‑Pierre Bessette, Montréal.
Solicitors for the respondent: Bastien, Spagnoli, Denault, Corte, Bourassa, Gobeil & Associates, Montréal.
