Stay denied in Beaudry case

The Supreme Court of Canada has dismissed the government's motion for a stay pending appeal in R. v. Beaudry, No. 38308. The Globe & Mail has a report on the ruling here. "A five-judge panel rejected military prosecutors’ request for a stay on Monday after the prosecution tangled with defence lawyers over whether discipline within the Canadian Forces would suffer if September ruling were allowed to stand."

Full disclosure: the editor has applied for leave to intervene in Beaudry and the companion case of Stillman v. R
