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 — Jurors — Selection — What are the Crown’s disclosure obligations generally — In what circumstances does the Crown’s failure to disclose information gleaned about the prospective jurors amount to a miscarriage of justice?

Cardoso and two others were convicted of first degree murder. On the appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal, it was disclosed that the Crown had engaged in a practice of jury vetting in the Barrie area. Fresh evidence was admitted on appeal that established that the Crown had enlisted the aid of police forces to obtain information about prospective jurors, which was not disclosed to the defence. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal. Although the Crown had an obligation to disclose the information to the defence, the failure to do so did not taint the fairness of the trial or impede the right to make fair answer and defence.
