Quebec’s Court of Appeal has overturned a stay of proceedings granted to a retired Quebec judge whose 2012 conviction for fatally shooting his wife was reversed by the federal justice minister.

The province’s highest court has ruled that the case against 88-year-old Jacques Delisle should return to Quebec Superior Court, where he was facing a new murder trial.
