During a trial for robbery and other offences, the defence sought disclosure of third-party Toronto Police Service occurrence reports relating to the complainant's place of business.
The defence argued the records were necessary to test the complainant's credibility regarding her delayed reporting of the alleged robbery.
The court dismissed the application, finding the defence failed to meet the O'Connor threshold of establishing a reasonable possibility that the information in the records was logically probative to an issue in the trial or the competence of a witness to testify.
The request was deemed a fishing expedition.
