  Cour suprême du Canada ...  
79 Le juge de première instance et la Cour d’appel considèrent que l’appelant, lorsqu’il a témoigné sous protection policière à l’enquête de la Commission de police et à l’enquête préliminaire des deux intimés Beaumont et Thireault, n’était plus alors dans l’impossibilité absolue en fait d’agir. Or, il est à noter que l’appelant ne témoignait pas dans le cadre de sa propre action en dommages.
79                      The trial judge and the Court of Appeal felt that once the appellant had testified under police protection at the Police Commission’s inquiry and at the preliminary inquiry of the two respondents Beaumont and Thireault, it was no longer absolutely impossible in fact for him to act.  However, it should be noted that the appellant was not testifying in his own action for damages.  In both proceedings, he was compelled by way of subpoena to testify and was under police protection.  It was only once the defendants had been convicted and sent to prison that he was sufficiently free of his fear to be able to act.  Dr. Béliveau explained the psychological impact of the guilty verdicts on the appellant as follows:
