R. v. S.S. – May 2024

Our client was charged with allegations of sexual interference against two complainants. The trial was proceeding into the seventh day when our lawyers discovered through cross examination that one of the complainants had previously told Crown counsel that their police statements were not correct. Further investigation revealed that both complainants had told this to Crown counsel. This information was not disclosed as is required, and so our lawyers immediately applied and successfully argued for mistrial.
