During pre‑trial proceedings, the accused advanced a Charter challenge alleging a breach of s. 8 arising from an alleged unreasonable search and seizure.
The court addressed issues relating to production of third‑party banking records held by a financial institution.
To facilitate the ongoing motion, the court clarified the scope of a subpoena duces tecum issued to a bank employee and specified categories of internal bank materials to be produced, including anti‑money laundering manuals, online instructions to branches, and training materials relevant to the relevant time period.
The endorsement was issued to ensure production of the documentation necessary for the continuation of the pre‑trial Charter application.
