O'Connor application for complainant's records partially granted for limited banking records to assess credibility.
The accused, charged with multiple domestic violence offences including assault and forcible confinement, brought an O'Connor application seeking third-party records relating to the complainant.
The requested records included extensive banking, cell phone, and social media data.
The court found that the request was overly broad and amounted to a fishing expedition.
However, the court ordered a limited temporal scope of banking records to be produced for a stage two review, as they were potentially relevant to the complainant's credibility regarding text messages allegedly sent by the accused from her phone.
