Facts

SCC

Reasons

SCC

"In as much as disclosure of all relevant information is the general rule, the Crown must bring itself within an exception to that rule". Crown failed to give second blood-sample before the day of the trail and in that the trail judge excluded certain evidence because Crown failing to prove that accused notified of availability of second blood sample for analysis.
