Supreme Court of Canada

Iacobucci and Major, JJ.

February 6, 1997.

Summary:

The accused was charged with committing acts of gross indecency against one of his students between 1964 and 1966. The com­plainant was interviewed by a social worker from the Sexual Abuse Crisis Centre. Pursu­ant to the Centre's policy, the social worker's notes of the interview were destroyed. The accused applied for a stay of proceedings, claiming that his right to make full answer and defence under ss. 7 and 11(d) of the Charter was violated. The trial judge allowed the application and stayed the proceedings. The Crown appealed.

The Ontario Court of Appeal, in a decision reported 85 O.A.C. 297, allowed the appeal. The accused appealed.

The Supreme Court of Canada, La Forest, L'Heureux-Dubé, Gonthier and McLachlin, JJ., dissenting, allowed the appeal. The court set aside the judgment of the Court of Appeal and restored the stay of proceedings.

Civil Rights - Topic 3128

Trials - Due process, fundamental justice and fair hearings - Criminal proceedings - Right of accused to obtain evidence - The accused was charged with sexual offences - The crisis centre social worker who interviewed the complainant destroyed her notes pursuant to the centre's policy - The complainant had accepted that the notes could be subpoenaed - The balance of the centre's file was disclosed to the accused - The Supreme Court of Canada held that the destruction of the notes violated the accused's right to make full answer and defence under ss. 7 and 11(d) of the Char­ter where the notes were found to be rel­evant and material and the complainant had waived her right to confidentiality and consented to production (as did the Crown) - See paragraphs 25 to 47.

Civil Rights - Topic 3128

Trials - Due process, fundamental justice and fair hearings - Criminal proceedings - Right of accused to obtain evidence - The Supreme Court of Canada stated that "The right to disclosure of material which meets the Stinchcombe threshold is one of the components of the right to make full answer and defence which in turn is a principle of fundamental justice embraced by s. 7 of the Charter. Breach of that obligation is a breach of the accused's constitutional rights without the require­ment of an additional showing of preju­dice. ... the breach of this principle of fundamental justice is in itself prejudicial. The requirement to show additional preju­dice or actual prejudice relates to the remedy to be fashioned pursuant to s. 24(1) of the Charter. It is immaterial that the right to disclosure is not explicitly listed as one of the components of the principles of fundamental justice. This is true as well of the right to make full answer and defence and other rights. The components of the right cannot be sepa­rated from the right itself." - See para­graphs 37, 38.

Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms - Denial of rights - Remedies - Stay of proceedings - The accused was charged with sexual offences - The crisis centre social worker who interviewed the com­plainant destroyed her notes pursuant to the centre's policy - The balance of the centre's file was disclosed to the accused - The Supreme Court of Canada held that the destruction of the notes violated the accused's right to make full answer and defence under ss. 7 and 11(d) of the Char­ter - The court affirmed that a stay of proceedings was appropriate - Credibility was a major issue - The accused was prejudiced because he was denied the opportunity to fully cross-examine the complainant using the first detailed account of the complaint and the only written record independent of the investi­gation - There was no alternative remedy to cure the prejudice - The integrity of the judicial system would suffer irreparable prejudice if the prosecution continued where the deliberate destruction of docu­ments was designed to defeat the processes of the court - See para­graphs 48 to 57.
