English version of the judgment of the Court delivered orally by

Lamer J.

Lamer J. ‑‑ We are all of the view that this appeal should be allowed in view of the flagrant denial of justice that is apparent from a mere reading of the transcripts. We allow the appeal and order a stay of proceedings. No costs will be awarded.
Judgment accordingly.
Solicitors for the appellant: Joli‑Coeur, Lacasse, Simard et Associés, Ste‑Foy.
Solicitors for the respondent: Stein, Monast, Pratte et Marseille, Montréal.
