SCoC to decide if lawyer approved police notes amount to collusion
Supreme Court to hear arguments about whether police under investigation can have lawyers vet notes
A fierce battle about whether police officers under investigation by a civilian watchdog can have a lawyer help them prepare their notes finds its way to the countrys top court Friday.
Pitted in the Supreme Court of Canada against the officers are the families of two men shot dead by Ontarios provincial police in separate incidents in 2009.
The families argue the police practice of creating two sets of notes a confidential first draft and a lawyer-approved second draft that ends up in their memo book is unacceptable.
Keeping two sets of books is a universal hallmark of deception, the families state in their factum.
