| On appeal from the judgment of Justice John S. Poupore of the Superior Court of Justice dated July 24, 2003 allowing in part the appeal of the conviction entered and sentence imposed by Justice Paul R. Bélanger of the Ontario Court of Justice on July 26, 2002. | |
APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
[1] Substantially for the reason of Justice Bélanger we agree that the definition of "employer" in section 1 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act is not overbroad. Moreover, we see no reason to revisit this court's majority decision in R. v. Wyssen. The appeal is therefore dismissed.
You are being directed to the most recent version of the statute which may not be the version considered at the time of the judgment.
