Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The applicant sought a good-conduct certificate for school purposes after a suspended 15-day conviction for hashish trafficking. The authority refused it. The court held that, under LCBVM 10(1)(a), this conviction alone did not justify refusal and ordered the certificate to be granted.

Omnilex headnote

LCBVM 10 al. 1 litt. a; délivrance du certificat de bonne vie et mœurs malgré une condamnation: une condamnation à 15 jours avec sursis pour trafic de haschich ne suffit pas, à elle seule, à faire obstacle à la délivrance du certificat, lorsque la gravité de l’infraction et de la peine demeure limitée (consid. non indiqué). Le refus suppose des éléments propres à démontrer que les conditions légales de moralité ne sont pas remplies; une condamnation mineure et suspendue ne permet pas, sans plus, de tirer une conclusion défavorable déterminante.

Key legal question

Whether a good-conduct certificate may be refused solely because of a 15-day suspended conviction for hashish trafficking.

Extracted holding

The certificate must be issued; the suspended conviction does not justify refusal under the applicable provision.

Extracted reasoning

The court held that the conviction, given its limited severity and the suspended nature of the sentence, did not establish grounds to deny the certificate required by the school context.
