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.
Criminal law – Evidence – Informer privilege – Standards and guidelines – Whether applicant has status of police informer – Standards and guidelines with which police must comply in exercising their discretion to decide whether person has status of informer.
This case is central to a vast initiative to dismantle an organized crime network in Quebec. An investigation led to the arrest of ten people on the strength, among other things, of information received from the applicant, B. In the context of the trials, the Crown filed a preliminary motion to determine whether B had the status of a police informer. Gagnon J. of the Superior Court granted the motion in part.
