Turning to the merits of the appeal, I note that the appellant did not present any evidence or a memorandum setting out the merits of the appeal. It is not the Court’s role to “guess” or “seek out” the merits of a case (Roberge; R. v. R.E.M., 2011 NSCA 8 (CanLII), 299 NSR (2d) 258, para. 39; R. v. D.P.B., 2002 NSCA 55 (CanLII), 2002 NSCA 55; R. v. Pettigrew, 1996 NSCA 17 (CanLII), 149 NSR (2d) 303).
Quote of the day from Houde v. H.M. The King, 2023 CMAC 10 (Oct. 24, 2023) (Bell, C.J.)
In contrast, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces does not require the accused to identify any appellate issue.
