British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from R. v. Pilkington, 2019 BCCA 374 (CanLII):

While on one view this looks like an error of fact, I consider the error is best characterized as one of law for the reason that Browne v. Dunn, referred to by the judge, was not engaged at all: Drydgen at para. 22.
