Vasu Virda was acquitted in provincial court in Vancouver on Sept. 12 , after being charged last summer with using an electronic device while driving.

But prosecutors appealed to the B.C. Supreme Court to overturn the acquittal.

Justice Wendy Baker said she could not rewrite the legislation, so she must apply the law as it is written.
