How to eSign a document: eSignature lawfulness for Business Ethics and Conduct Disclosure Statement in UAE

[Music] when you're charged with a criminal offense and you retain a lawyer the first thing the lawyer is going to do is request a complete copy of your disclosure from the crown attorney's office now what is what is disclosure disclosure is all of the evidence that the crown attorney has against you the police have done an investigation they've they turn over all of their documents and investigation and evidence to the crown so the crown has that and then the crown is supposed to turn over you all relevant documents any evidence photographs witness statements police notes investigative reports you name it i could go on and on and on about what types of thinkers are in disclosure but it's everything they have and a case by the name of stinchcomb from the supreme court of canada from quite a few years ago many years ago it defined what's relevant and what should be provided in disclosure sometimes we have disagreements with the crown about what that is so for example i will get the initial disclosure package from the crown and recognize that there's missing disclosure and write the crown the crown may agree and ask the police to provide that because it hasn't been provided them yet or they may say look that's not relevant it doesn't meet the test of even slight relevance now bear in mind disclosure is both relevant in your favor or against you it all has to be turned over so if the crown and i can't agree on a piece of disclosure that they're saying is not relevant that's in the police investigative file which i i want the entire police investigator file and we usually get it by the way the entire file but if we're disagreeing over something then we need to bring an application in front of the judge that's defense counsel to argue that this piece of disclosure is relevant as well and should be turned over to defense counsel and and the judge will make that decision but anyway this is a very powerful tool to be able to properly defend yourself in canada because in the years before stinchcombe what we were receiving from the crown was very uneven this is before even before i was practicing a long time ago so sometimes you'd get just get a sketchy investigative file and get very surprised by certain witnesses at trial when you couldn't anticipate what the heck was going on in the case but that's all changed fortunately we still have our agreements it's not a perfect system but for the most part it works well so defense counsel and their client can know everything they're facing to make intelligent decisions about whether to proceed to trial or whether to resolve the case in the client's best interest because either a they're completely guilty they can't win or the risks of going to trial are too great that's how disclosure is helpful and it's a great tool for us to use in canada to properly defend clients thank you for watching our video we are absolutely committed to bringing you the best possible criminal and dui educational videos if you found this video helpful please like it and subscribe to our youtube channel if you've been charged with the criminal offense in ontario and require our services please click on the link in the description below
