Potential Prejudice

R. v. Korevaar, 2009 CanLII 42456 (ON SC)[1]

[20] I agree with the Crown’s submission that in order to show that Mr. Korevaar’s right to disclosure was violated, he must satisfy the court that there was a reasonable possibility that the undisclosed material could have been used in meeting the case for the Crown, or in advancing his defence, and that the non-disclosure could affect the fairness of his trial. This is the meaning of prejudice in the context of this analysis.[2]
