APPROVED INSTRUMENT MAINTENANCE RECORDS DISCLOSURE

The Alberta Court of Appeal has granted leave to appeal a case where disclosure of approved instrument maintenance records is the issue:

Leave is granted to the Crown to appeal to this Court on the following questions of law:

- whether the summary conviction appeal court erred in finding that historical maintenance records of approved instruments are presumptively relevant; and

- whether the maintenance records for an approved instrument unrelated to the accused’s investigation are subject to Stinchcombe disclosure. R. v. Vallentgoed, 2015 ABCA 202

For the summary conviction appeal decision, see R. v. Vallentgoed, 2015 ABQB 206
