Criminal law C34989

R. v. Clifford

s.278.1 covers therapeutic/counselling records only where they contain personal information in which the complainant has a reasonable expectation of privacy; presence of the accused at some sessions does not automatically negate that expectation; on the facts the trial judge did not err in finding the respondent failed to meet the s.278.5 threshold for production to the judge and thus the summary conviction appeal court erred in ordering production of joint records and in setting aside the trial judge's ruling on records.

  • Production of third party therapeutic records
  • Interpretation of s.278.1 criminal code
  • Joint counselling records
  • Threshold for production under s.278.5
  • Admissibility of counselling evidence
  • Misapprehension of evidence
