Document Summary
Justice osborne: the act of going topless was not really sexual in nature. Adam and eve lives on: nudity and sexuality is immoral: v trembley 1993. Supreme court held that the acts that occurred in the rooms were not indecent: Masturbation is a socially acceptable activity in canada. Dancing nude was accepted as normal strip club experience. No physical contact between the dancer and the client. No harm: all participants chose to be there. Remember: the courts are not concerned with standards of "good taste" but rather the question whether the acts will be tolerated by community: v. mara 1997. The acts were indecent, the manager was convicted not the owner. Since there was touching there was harm because it objectified women: "it is unacceptably degrading to a woman to permit such uses of their bodies in the context of a public performance in a tavern" R. v labaye and r v. kouri.
