What is the test for having an honest belief that the conduct of students was such as to deserve discipline?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Kanhai, 1981 CanLII 2060 (SKDC):
Returning to the present case, there is one area in which I am, with respect, at variance with the trial judge. He found that “the (appellant) had an honest belief that the conduct of the students was such as to deserve discipline.” Now, it is implicit in Regina v. Haberstock that such a belief must be founded on reasonable and probable grounds.
