J.J. challenging the constitutionality of the new \u201creverse disclosure\u201d legislation created by Bill C-51 in 2018. The entire records screening regime is subject of the appeal and cross-appeal, primarily focusing on the treatment of non-sexual records in the possession of the accused… The Courts of Appeal have responded quickly to the Supreme Court\u2019s guidelines included in the May 14, 2021 decision of R. v. G.F. and R.B., 2021 SCC 20, citing the decision over twenty times within the first month of release. On May 14, 2021 the Supreme Court of Canada delivered their decision in R. v. G.F. and R.B., 2021 SCC 20. This was a case involving a 16 year old complainant who, a\u0000er becoming intoxicated on a camping trip, testified that a\u0000er vomiting and passing out in a trailer belonging to a common-law couple, she awoke while being sexually assaulted by the man and woman. The Ontario Court of Appeal recently overturned acquittals in R. v. Steele, 2021 ONCA 186 finding that, yet again, myths about sexual assault victims had tainted the trial judge\u2019s reasoning. In the \u200bKusk case, the Crown had asked the accused why the complainant would lie when the defence had not alleged a motive. The Court of Appeal overturned the conviction, denouncing the forbidden question as \u201cbeguiling\u201d and pointing out that it reverses the onus of proof in such a subtle way that even experienced judges can fall prey to this \u201cfalse train of reasoning.\u201d Criminalizes a very broad range of conduct in circumstances where there may be no exploitative relationship between the seller and the person assisting him or her with advertising. However, the respondent did not challenge the constitutionality of the prohibition on advertising. Since the Ontario Court of Appeal decision in R. v. J.J.R.D., [2006] O.J. No. 4749 there has been significant movement away from following the three step process for assessing testimony, as previously outlined in the Supreme Court\u2019s 1991 decision in R. v. W.(D.)\u201d In August, during pre-trial applications in R. v. G.E. [2020] O.J. No. 4337, Justice Doody had commented \u201cThis would not be a complex case but for the complexity imposed by the procedural requirements of the Code and some uncertainties created thereby.\u201d The Ontario Court of Appeal recently issued a decision in R. v. M.R.S., 2020 ONCA 667 which took aim at how \u201cnarrative\u201d evidence was submitted by the Crown which amounted to a volume of \u201csimilar fact\u201d or bad character evidence at trial….. \u201cYou Don\u2019t Get Points for Not Exaggerating\u201d There has been increased scrutiny on Crown-led evidence in sexual assault trials since the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in R. v. Barton, 2019 SCC 33 and R. v. Goldfinch, 2019 SCC 38 that the Crown-led evidence of a sexual nature should be subjected to a voir dire…. The Supreme Court has granted leave to appeal in a BC case, R. v.
