The self-represented accused brought a stage one O'Connor application seeking production of various records from the Ministry of the Solicitor General, including policies on inmate transfers, the SAFER program, security video, and movement logs.
The accused argued these records were relevant to an anticipated Charter application alleging that his transfers and institutional restrictions impeded his ability to make full answer and defence.
The court granted the application in part, ordering the Ministry to produce relevant policies and specific movement records to the court for stage two review, while dismissing requests for broad video footage and unrelated inmate records that failed to meet the 'likely relevant' threshold.
