British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Meikle, 2003 BCPC 162 (CanLII):
As to "oblique motive", the same argument was addressed by me in the dispositive decision in Regina v. Dick [2003] B.C.P.C. 0013 at paragraphs 42 and following, where the defendant had similarly relied on the characterization of Crown duties set out in the well known case of R. v.
