The respondent was charged with speeding.
A justice of the peace ordered the prosecutor to disclose the entire user manual for the speed measuring radar device used by the police officer.
The Ontario Provincial Police brought an application for certiorari to quash the disclosure order, arguing a third party records hearing was required.
The Superior Court dismissed the application, finding that while the justice of the peace erred by not making a specific finding that the manual was first party disclosure, there was no substantial wrong or miscarriage of justice because the entire manual (except for one section on legal requirements) was obviously relevant and constituted first party disclosure.
