Description
October 6 Ottawa Three justices of the Supreme Court of Canada (Hon. R.G.B. Dickson, Rt. Hon. Bora Laskin, and Hon. W.R. McIntyre) ruled that the full court would not hear the appeal of PTP, which had asked the court to uphold Provincial Court Judge Sydney Harris's 1979 acquittal of the Body Politic on charges of "using the mails to transmit indecent, immoral or scurrilous matter." This was the last resort of appeal, and the Body Politic was sent back to retrial. (See also December 21, 1981.)
