What are the consequences of a single delict?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Punko, 2008 BCSC 568 (CanLII):
This leaves open the possibility, the accused say, that the three accused charged in both Counts 2 and 6 might face conviction on both counts based on a single crime. They say, further, that the principle in Kienapple v. The Queen, 1974 CanLII 14 (SCC), [1975] 1 S.C.R. 729, 15 C.C.C.(2d) 524 could not be applied to correct that possibility, because the trial judge will not necessarily be in a position to know that a jury convicted on both counts based on a single delict.
