Les critères devant être évalués par le tribunal pour déterminer si la Couronne s'est acquittée de son fardeau en matière de divulgation de la preuve

R v Anderson, 2013 SKCA 92 (CanLII)

Lien vers la décision

[64]   As a practical matter, during a review of the Crown’s disclosure obligations prior to trial or during trial, a trial judge must look at a myriad of relevant factors touching on whether the Crown has fulfilled its obligation in good faith and in a timely manner.  Without providing an exhaustive list, this could include looking at the essential elements of the offence, the complexity of the investigation, the volume and type of disclosure already provided, what the Crown refuses or is unable to provide, a preliminary assessment of how the further disclosure sought is relevant in the sense of assisting the accused, whether it is part of the case to meet, the interaction between the Crown and defence, the behaviour of the Crown and defence, the timing of disclosure and the nature of the defence requests for disclosure.  The interplay of these factors is case specific.
