Disclosure Not Timely
A Crown prosecutor should share disclosure on time with defense counsel or, if the accused has no lawyer, directly with the accused:
- to the extent required by law and accepted practice; and
- of all relevant and known facts and witnesses, whether tending to show guilt or innocence.
See section 5.1-3, commentary [1] of the Law Society of Saskatchewan Code of Professional Conduct for Lawyers for more information.
There may be reasons for a delay in giving disclosure that the Crown prosecutor cannot control. If the delay is making it hard for you to prepare your defence, you should tell the court. The Law Society cannot order the Crown prosecutor to provide the disclosure.
If you think the delay is because of misconduct by the Crown prosecutor, submit a complaint.
