Sexual Assault Pre-Trial Applications: Strategy, Tips and Current State of the Law 

Dec. 13, 2024
Toronto ON

OBA Criminal Justice PROGRAM | 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Pre-trial applications are a pivotal part of trial strategy, and it is crucial for Crown attorneys and defence counsel to understand the full scope and nature of the Criminal Code’s procedures with respect to the production and disclosure of records in sexual assault cases. 

Which sexual offences are currently captured by these provisions? Which applications can or should take place at a preliminary inquiry? When is evidence concerning prior sexual activity of the complainant admissible (section 276)? When can certain records related to the complainant be used by the defence (section 278)? 

Our panel of seasoned criminal law practitioners will break down these issues and more during this essential program.

PROGRAM CHAIRS
