Welcome to Cases That Should Have Gone to the Supreme Court of Canada, But Didn’t! This week, lawyer Kyla Lee discusses spousal communications privilege.
Acumen Law Corporation lawyer Kyla Lee gives her take on a made-in-Canada court case each week and discusses why these cases should have been heard by Canada’s highest court: the Supreme Court of Canada.
Sheena Cuthill, along with her husband and brother-in-law were all charged in the death of a Mr. Lane.
In the course of the investigation into the murder, the police obtained a production order which allowed them to gain access to text messages sent by Mrs. Cuthill to her husband and to her brother-in-law.
Mrs. Cuthill argued at trial that those text messages were inadmissible because they were spousal communications. Because the documents were obtained by a production order as opposed to a warrant, Mrs. Cuthill argued that her spousal privilege was violated by police. The court disagreed and she and her husband were both convicted of murder.
The Supreme Court of Canada missed the opportunity here to clarify when spousal privilege applies in the digital age and the application of spousal privilege to a broad understanding of communication that now exists in our legal system.

This week on the Driving Law Podcast, Paul Doroshenko and I discuss recent changes to ICBC’s insurance rates and how your driving record will impact them.
Next, we discuss a recent development at the BC Court of Appeal for electronic device distracted driving cases. This case may have significant impacts on the development in the law in this area, and it is one to listen to if you are wondering about cell phone offences.
Finally, Paul and I discuss a recently successful appeal in BC Supreme Court of a traffic ticket conviction. The case involved a man who was convicted of driving with alcohol in his body while under a license restriction not to have alcohol. The question was whether the evidence relied on by the trial judge was sufficient for a conviction.
