It is also established that "Ohio law prohibits a defendant from asserting an affirmative defense for the first . Furthermore, s. 7 was not really considered in relation to s. 9. The debate between those favouring a restrictive application of the Canadian Bill of Rights, as a result of a great reluctance to interfere with the expressed intention of Parliament through the use of a nonconstitutional document, and those determined to give s. 2(b) greater effect culminated in this Court's decision in Miller and Cockriell v. The Queen, 1976 CanLII 12 (SCC), [1977] 2 S.C.R. 3.

On 18th September 1972 the landlord informed the Appellant that his brother could not remain. In my view, the protection afforded by s. 12 governs the quality of the punishment and is concerned with the effect that the punishment may have on the person on whom it is imposed. In his opinion, found at p. 234, s. 5(2) came within these criteria: In my view a compulsory sentence of seven years for a nonviolent crime imposed without consideration for the individual history and background of the accused is so excessive that it "shocks the conscience" and because of its arbitrary nature fails to comport with human dignity.

The Attorney General referred a question to the Court of Appeal. If there be a rational reason for the policy then I do not think it is for a judge to say that the policy is capricious, unreasonable or unjustified. A large degree of latitude must, therefore, be permitted to Parliament in determining the appropriate punishment, particularly where the question is not the nature of the punishment but only its extent. (No. R v. Smith (1974) 58 Cr. It shocked the communal conscience. In the course of his summing-up the Deputy Judge directed the jury in these terms: "Now, in order to make the offence complete, the person who is charged with it must destroy or damage that property belonging to another, 'without lawful excuse', and that is something that one has got to look at a little more, Members of the Jury, because you have heard here that, so far as each Defendant was concerned, it never occurred to them, and, you may think, quite naturally never occurred to either of them, that "these various additions to the house were anything but their own property But Members of the Jury, the Act is quite specific, and so far as the Defendant David Smith is concerned lawful excuse is the only defence which has been raised. Facts: The defendant, an assistant at an electrical shop, was asked by an acquaintance to supply goods (16,000) in exchange for two building society cheques that the defendant knew were stolen. In my view, capital punishment would amount to cruel and unusual punishment if it cannot be shown that its deterrent value outweighs the objections which can be brought against it. I should add that, in my view, the minimum sentence also creates some problems. Macdonald J.A., obviously referring to the words "capricious, unreasonable or unjustified", then added, at p. 434: I agree with that passage with the reservation that those three words should not be taken as a complete definition of arbitrariness. 152, 68 C.C.C. The courts, the, In neither case, be it before or after the.

In our view a minimum sentence of seven years for importing a drug contrary to the Act is not so disproportionate to the offence that the prescribed penalty is cruel and unusual. The court must also measure the effect of the sentence, which is not limited to its quantum or duration but includes also its nature and the conditions under which it is applied. In imposing a sentence of imprisonment, the judge will assess the circumstances of the case in order to arrive at an appropriate sentence. Once Jordan was on the ground all three kicked him and demanded the heroin. By way of summary, I express the view that s.12 of the Charter is a special constitutional provision which is not concerned with general principles of sentencing nor with related social problems.

In effect, the appellant is stating that while the law is not unconstitutional in its application to him, it may be unconstitutional in its application to a third party and, therefore, should be declared of no force or effect.

J. and held that s. 5(2) did not impose a punishment that was so disproportionate to the offence as to be cruel and unusual. Since the complaint is solely as to the duration of the minimum sentence provided in s. 5(2), it becomes relevant to consider the length of the sentence as it will be served.

The Court there found that the sevenyear minimum in s. 5(2) of the Narcotic Control Act, the same provision under consideration in this appeal, was "not so disproportionate to the offence that the prescribed penalty [was] cruel and unusual". So is the unauthorized manufacture of the proscribed chemical drugs. In his opinion, the words "cruel and unusual" were to be read disjunctively so that "cruel punishments however usual in the ordinary sense of the term could come within the proscription". in Miller and Cockriell, supra, at p. 688, "whether the punishment prescribed is so excessive as to outrage standards of decency". Viewed in the light of the other sentences which are currently provided for in Canadian law and considering the length of the sentence which will actually be served and the severity of the offence, I am unable to say that the minimum sentence in s. 5(2) of the Narcotic Control Act is such as to outrage the public conscience or be degrading to human dignity.
