Comment la Cour doit traiter la demande d'arrêt des procédures d'un accusé qui allègue que son état de santé (physique ou mental) l'empêche de subir son procès

R v Magomadova, 2015 ABCA 26

Lien vers la décision

[48]           When an accused raises claims of physical and/or mental impairment, any claim for a stay of proceedings could in principle fall under either or both categories depending on the specific facts. Where an accused claims that the process of being subjected to a trial would significantly threaten their life or health, the most obvious category is the residual one. That is, while the trial itself may be procedurally fair (the accused can adequately instruct counsel, etc.), it would nonetheless be unconscionable for state action in the form of a trial to be responsible for threatening a person’s life.
