Absent express findings supporting a finding that finding is an error of law

R. v. Batty, 2014 ONCA 620:

While this court cannot “revisit factual findings or correct errors of mixed fact and law” (R. v. R.R., 2008 ONCA 497, 234 C.C.C. (3d) 463 at para. 24), an absence of findings capable of supporting guilt amounts to an error of law (R. v. Seath, 1999 ABCA 347, [2000] A.W.L.D. 93 at para 28 referring to R. v. Schuldt, [1985] 2 S.C.R. 592, [1985] S.C.J. No. 76 at 599).
