Criminal - Sentencing - Standard of Review (SOR). R. v. S.B.
In R. v. S.B. (Ont CA, 2023) the Court of Appeal considered the SOR for criminal sentencing:[35] Sentencing judges are afforded a great deal of deference in their decisions. Absent a sentence which is demonstrably unfit, or an error in principle that had an impact on the sentence, an appellate court cannot intervene: R. v. Friesen, 2020 SCC 9, [2020] 1 S.C.R. 424, at paras. 25-26; R. v. Lacasse, 2015 SCC 64, [2015] 3 S.C.R. 1089, at paras. 11, 41 and 44.
