The trial judge had relied on a few notes found in respondent\u2019s residence, along with other evidence, to find him guilty of these offences. However, in an appeal to the Court of Appeals, the trial court order was set aside. Hence, the instant appeal was preferred by the Crown as a matter of right.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the trial court, the defence counsel had raised a question to a witness in an attempt to find out as to who had written the two notes found in respondent\u2019s residence. But the witness refused to answer this question. The main submission advanced on behalf of respondent was that the trial judge had erred in the way he addressed witness\u2019 refusal to answer a vital question, and as such his conviction was liable to be set aside.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Supreme Court, after appreciating the materials on record, noted that since the respondent had subsequently admitted to writing most of the incriminating statements in the notes found in his residence, therefore the trial judge\u2019s failure to take further steps to compel the witness to answer the question put to him did not have an effect on the verdict. It was a proper exercise of the trial court\u2019s discretion in continuing with the main proceedings and leaving the issue of potential contempt proceedings, against the aforesaid witness, for being taken up later in time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was observed that even if one assumed that the trial judge had committed an error in his addressal of witness\u2019 refusal to answer the question put to him, any such error did not result in a substantial wrong or miscarriage of justice, and therefore respondent\u2019s convictions were upheld as per Section 686(1) (b)(iii) of the Criminal Code, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-46. The Crown\u2019s appeal was allowed and respondent\u2019s conviction was restored. [Queen v.
