Sipekne’katik v. Mi’kmaw Family and Children’s Services of Nova Scotia

Disclosure relevance is governed by trial‑level relevance; the Eskasoni and Bear River particulars post‑date and are unrelated to the transaction and relationship between MFCS and Sipekne’katik when the Indian Brook office was planned, built and used, and therefore do not bear on the parties’ reasonable expectations or public policy considerations relevant to the juristic reason inquiry and are not producible.

  • Disclosure relevance under rule 14.01
  • Juristic reason in unjust enrichment
  • Discovery particulars
  • Indian act reserve land designation
  • Standard of review for relevance

  • Variation of release order
  • Section 523 criminal code jurisdiction
  • Gps monitoring
  • House arrest vs curfew
  • Witness protection and disclosure delays
  • Material change in circumstances
