In 1999, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that a typical lap dance did not constitute an "obscene" act within the meaning of the Criminal Code. The Crown did not argue that lap dances constituted "prostitution", and therefore the court did not address the possible issue that the typical lap dance may contravene one or more anti-prostitution laws.[11] This led to the displacement of strip clubs and table dancing clubs in Canada by lap dancing clubs.
57 In my view, the trial judge erred in law in concluding that the activities in the present case did not amount to indecent performances. I agree with the Court of Appeal that the performances were indecent. Given that there was no issue about whether the appellant East had the requisite mental state to support a conviction, the Court dismissed the appeal with respect to the appellant East at the conclusion of the argument.
