The accused, charged with serious offences including human trafficking and sexual assault, brought an application for a stay of proceedings or exclusion of evidence under s. 24(1) of the Charter.
The application was based on late and misleading disclosure by the police and Crown regarding the identity of a suspect named in the Information to Obtain a search warrant for the accused's cell phone.
The court dismissed the application, finding that the disclosure issues were isolated, had been remedied, and did not meet the high threshold of undermining the integrity of the justice system required for a stay or exclusion of evidence.
