Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Kanhai, 1981 CanLII 2060 (SKDC):
Counsel for the appellant states in his written submission (as to the third ground): . . . the learned trial judge erred in basing (the finding of guilt) upon the following obiter from the case of Campeau v. The King: There will be no disagreement that if a master strikes a pupil on the head by way (of) discipline his act is completely unjustified . . . . . . a master who so far forgets himself as to strike a child in any part of the body where permanent damage may be caused must take the consequences.
