Book excerpt: According to the federal government, "[u]se of the procedure varies across provinces, and its purpose has been significantly reduced by the obligation on the Crown to provide the accused with all evidence relating to his or her charges."11 As well, there was a "lively debate" about the very nature and value of preliminary inquiries in the course of the study into court delays by the Standing Senat [...] As well, under amended section 537 of the Code, a justice acting in the course of a preliminary inquiry may "regulate the course of the inquiry in any way that appears to the justice to be desirable, including to promote a fair and expeditious inquiry" (clause 244(1)). [...] Clauses 188 and 189 remove the requirement in sections 482(2) and 482.1(5) for the rules of court and the case management rules to be "subject to the approval of the lieutenant governor in council of the relevant province." Clause 188 also removes the requirement that such rules be published in the Canada Gazette, so that they simply need to be publicly available. [...] The bill standardizes the timing for all types of offences: the time of the appearance of the accused at which their trial date is set (new sections 530(1) and 530(2) of the Code). [...] When deciding to authorize the use of telecommunication as part of the proceeding, the judge must consider a list of factors, such as the following (new sections 715.23, 715.25 and 715.26): • the person's location; • the nature of the anticipated evidence; • the costs that would be incurred by appearing in person; • the nature and seriousness of the offence; and • the accused's right to a fair and.
Download or read book The Anatomy of Criminal Procedure written by Steve Coughlan and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Criminal law is a powerful legal tool in Canadian society consisting of numerous procedural rules but little organization. Provisions of the Criminal Code that are directly relevant to each other are often separated by many different (and usually irrelevant) sections and subsections. The common law rules of criminal procedure, meanwhile, are often established incrementally, in numerous cases decided over a long period of time. With both the Code and common law, it can be difficult and time-consuming to assemble and explain the entire legal framework governing a particular police power or court procedure. This deficiency in the law is what led authors Steve Coughlan and Alex Gorlewski to create a comprehensible resource that clarifies the relationships among the individual statutory provisions and the common law rules of criminal procedure.The Anatomy of Criminal Procedure: A Visual Guide to the Law illustrates the law of criminal procedure through nearly seventy annotated charts and diagrams. Across the whole criminal process -- from search and seizure to appeals and sentencing -- this book consolidates the statutory and common law rules around each step, visually depicts how they fit together, and explains in detailed annotations how the rules work and have been interpreted by courts. This is a valuable text for practitioners who work with the criminal process every day, as well as for students learning it for the first time. Coughlan and Gorlewski aim to outline the law as it was created and implemented by our institutions, while providing the coherence it sometimes lacks yet certainly requires.

Book excerpt: Delays in the criminal justice system significantly impact all those involved, in particular accused persons, victims of crime and those who are expected to be called as witnesses. Accused persons have the right to be tried within a reasonable time under section 11(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Charter), the failing of which can result in a stay of proceedings. In recent years, the issue of delays in the criminal justice system has been the subject of significant and sustained attention, including calls for action by provinces and territories, Parliament, key stakeholders, the media, as well as the general public. This document includes an introduction, background information, and an overview of Bill C-75.--Includes text from document.
Download or read book Canadian Justice Indigenous Injustice written by Kent Roach and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2019-01-21 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 2016 Colten Boushie, a twenty-two-year-old Cree man from Red Pheasant First Nation, was fatally shot on a Saskatchewan farm by white farmer Gerald Stanley. In a trial that bitterly divided Canadians, Stanley was acquitted of both murder and manslaughter by a jury in Battleford with no visible Indigenous representation. In Canadian Justice, Indigenous Injustice Kent Roach critically reconstructs the Gerald Stanley/Colten Boushie case to examine how it may be a miscarriage of justice. Roach provides historical, legal, political, and sociological background to the case including misunderstandings over crime when Treaty 6 was negotiated, the 1885 hanging of eight Indigenous men at Fort Battleford, the role of the RCMP, prior litigation over Indigenous underrepresentation on juries, and the racially charged debate about defence of property and rural crime. Drawing on both trial transcripts and research on miscarriages of justice, Roach looks at jury selection, the controversial “hang fire” defence, how the credibility and beliefs of Indigenous witnesses were challenged on the stand, and Gerald Stanley's implicit appeals to self-defence and defence of property, as well as the decision not to appeal the acquittal. Concluding his study, Roach asks whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's controversial call to “do better” is possible, given similar cases since Stanley's, the difficulty of reforming the jury or the RCMP, and the combination of Indigenous underrepresentation on juries and overrepresentation among those victimized and accused of crimes. Informed and timely, Canadian Justice, Indigenous Injustice is a searing account of one case that provides valuable insight into criminal justice, racism, and the treatment of Indigenous peoples in Canada.
Download or read book Seeking the Court s Advice written by Kate Puddister and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can Parliament legalize same-sex marriage? Can Quebec unilaterally secede from Canada? Can the federal government create a national firearms registry? Each of these questions is contentious and deeply political, and each was addressed by a court in a reference case, not by elected policy makers. Reference cases allow governments to obtain an advisory opinion from a court without a live dispute or opposing litigants – and governments often wield this power strategically. The first study of its kind, Seeking the Court’s Advice draws on over two hundred reference cases from 1875 to 2017 to show that the actual outcome of a reference case – win or lose – is often secondary to the political benefits that can be attained from relying on courts through the reference power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human Trafficking: Global History and Perspectives argues that, far from being a recent development, human trafficking is rooted in the history of the human condition and has only been amplified by globalization. Using a multidisciplinary approach that traces the historical roots of human trafficking in global history, the chapters explore case studies from different parts of the world to show that human trafficking is not only a global phenomenon but a localized enigma. The contributors contend that the causes, and thus, the solutions, are rooted in local and regional social, cultural, political, and economic conditions of victims. The case studies include global, regional, and local examples to analyze the complex causes and effects of human trafficking as well as the legal ramifications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1993, most Canadians believed that big government deficits were permanent and that the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) was in such deep trouble that younger Canadians would never collect a retirement pension. They believed too that Canada's politicians were incapable of dealing with either problem. Yet by 1998, both were essentially solved. While the deficit battles have been recounted many times, the story of the reform that rescued the CPP has gone almost entirely untold. In Fixing the Future, Bruce Little explains the CPP overhaul and shows why it stands as one of Canada's most significant public policy success stories, in part because it demanded an almost unparalleled degree of federal-provincial co-operation. Providing an overview of the CPP's entire history from its beginning in 1965, Little pulls together published, and new unpublished, material relating to the CPP reform, and interviews over fifty politicians, government officials, and others who were deeply involved in the reforms for their recollections, insights, and observations. A superbly told history of one of Canada's most important public policy issues, Fixing the Future will be of interest to political scientists, historians, economists, and anyone concerned about their retirement.
