Summary
  • "This manual is a basic guide to the relevant issues and authorities of which Crown counsel, defence counsel, and judges should be aware in cases of individuals charged with sexual assault or any of the related sexual offences. It is intended to be a starting point and quick reference source. The authors draw upon their extensive experience to provide step-by-step guidance for both Crown and defence, from the initial client interview to the completion of the proceedings in the criminal justice system, including sentencing.
  • Among the topics addressed are the factors to consider, and procedures involved, in making a Seaboyer application, the topic of child witnesses, expert witnesses, third-party record applications and publication bans.
  • For ease of reference, the relevant statutory provisions, including those no longer in force that may apply in cases of delayed complaints, are set out in the Appendices.
  • Also included are jury instructions from Watt's Manual of Jury Instructions as a new Appendix E."--Pub. desc.
