Members of the media and the public are advised that the following proceeding before the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal will be livestreamed on the Courts of Nova Scotia website beginning Wednesday, January 28, 2026:

CAC-488562 – Christian Enang Clyke v. His Majesty the King

In May 2019, Christian Enang Clyke was convicted of second-degree murder in Nova Scotia Supreme Court. He received a life sentence with no eligibility for parole for 12 years. Mr. Clyke appealed his conviction, but eventually abandoned that appeal, which the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal dismissed by Order in June 2022. In August 2022, Mr. Clyke made a motion to recommence his appeal; the Court granted his motion in July 2024.

This appeal hearing is scheduled for two days, starting at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. It will be heard by a three-member panel comprised of Justice Cindy Bourgeois, Justice Joel Fichaud, and Justice Carole Beaton.
