"L'abus de procédure

1- La théorie de l'abus de procédure est applicable en droit pénal provincial.  Le juge de paix présidant une audition peut conséquemment arrêter ou suspendre un procès pour ce motif.

Le fait que le poursuivant décide de porter autant d'accusations que la loi lui permet ne peut être considéré comme un abus de procédure.
