The Crown sought to call four expert witnesses in a trial for manslaughter and criminal negligence causing death of a 21-month-old child.
The defence challenged the admissibility of the experts based on their independence and impartiality.
The court admitted the evidence of the coroner, forensic pathologist, and neuropathologist, finding them independent.
However, the court excluded the evidence of the paediatric nutritionist, who testified he would never work for the defence and viewed defence experts as 'hired guns', demonstrating an inherent bias in favour of the Crown.
