A new toolkit can help you navigate s. 276 and 278 Criminal Code matters as complainant counsel in criminal proceedings.
The online toolkit, released by West Coast LEAF, outlines the law surrounding the admissibility of evidence of a survivor’s past sexual activity and the production of third-party records for criminal proceedings. It also provides an overview of the evolution of this area of law, practical advice for advancing these sexual assault cases, and guidance on developing a trauma-informed practice.
