In 2008, an employee submitted a grievance, alleging that she had been denied certain vacation benefits in violation of the collective agreement Mark Whyte v. Her Majesty the Queen (October 20, 2011) Case #33965 The appellant was arrested for various firearms offences without a warrant. The police had relied primarily on the tip from an informant and arrested Whyte while he was a passenger in a car. The trial judge excluded the evidence related to the firearms on the basis that there was a violation of Charter rights and acquitted Whyte. The Court of Appeal overturned the trial judge’s decision and entered convictions.
