Wilson<\/em>, 2025 SCC 32. This case concerned the interpretation of s. 4.1(2) of the <em>Controlled Drugs and Substances Act<\/em>, which reads:<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2)<\/strong>\u00a0No person who seeks emergency medical or law enforcement assistance because that person, or another person, is suffering from a medical emergency is to be charged or convicted of an offence under subsection 4(1) if the evidence in support of that offence was obtained or discovered as a result of that person having sought assist\u00adance or having remained at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>This provision was intended to ensure that a person would not be deterred from seeking emergency medical care (for example, due to a drug overdose) because they could be criminally liable for the offence of simple possession of a controlled substance. The issue in this case was whether, correctly interpreted, the provision allows police to arrest a person for simple possession, despite the fact they cannot be charged or convicted.<\/p>\n<p>In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court held that the correct interpretation of s. 4.1(2) means that the police cannot arrest someone for an offence where they are immune from criminal prosecution. The majority held, \u201c[t]he immunity from charge and conviction for simple possession explicitly mentioned in s. 4.1(2) of the\u00a0<em>CDSA\u00a0<\/em>includes, by necessary implication, immunity from arrest for that offence. This interpretation best serves the clear purpose of the provision: to save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At paragraph 40 of the judgment, the Court highlighted CCLA\u2019s submission that, \u201cthe fear of potential arrests and searches may be acute for vulnerable and marginalized individuals, like those struggling with drug addiction, who often have a history of negative interactions with law enforcement and are disproportionately affected by police practices and criminalization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can read the full judgment <a href=\"https:\/\/decisions.scc-csc.ca\/scc-csc\/scc-csc\/en\/item\/21249\/index.do#_ftn1\">here<\/a> and CCLA\u2019s factum <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scc-csc.ca\/pdf\/case-documents\/40990\/FM050_Intervener_Canadian-Civil-Liberties-Association.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The CCLA is grateful to Sarah Rankin and Heather Ferg of Rodin Law and McKay Ferg for their excellent <em>pro bono <\/em>representation in this case.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_6a128e84bb134\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_6a128e84bb421\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\" data-top-percent=\"1%\" data-bottom-percent=\"1%\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\"  style=\"padding-top: calc(100vw * 0.01); padding-bottom: calc(100vw * 0.01); \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 style=\"color: #ef770e;text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading\" >About the Canadian Civil Liberties Association<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t<p>The CCLA is an independent, non-profit organization with supporters from across the country.
