Summary
Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.
In this case, a judge disclosed information over which informer privilege is claimed to selected media counsel and media representatives so they could make submissions on whether proceedings brought by the Named Person should be heard in camera.
The issue on this appeal is whether the extradition judge erred by granting media counsel and media representatives access to information over which informer privilege is being asserted upon their entering into undertakings with respect to maintaining confidentiality.
Lower court rulings
None.
