CBC News: Majority of B.C.’s courthouses inaccessible, unsafe for intimate partner violence victims: report

A new report from a Vancouver-based non-profit has found that a majority of B.C.’s courthouses are unsafe for victims of intimate partner violence, and often fail to meet accessibility standards.

The report from Rise Women’s Legal Centre found that, out of 73 courthouses that were studied, 42 per cent didn’t include enough space for someone who used a wheelchair or crutches.

In addition, two-thirds of the court locations did not have multiple entrances and exits, and almost none had multiple ways to get in and out of courtrooms themselves.

Kyla Lee in The Canadian Bar Association National: Drawing a line on the implied license doctrine

Although police were fine to approach the vehicle of a suspected impaired driver in a private driveway and knock on the window, officers breached his privacy rights when they opened the door after he failed to respond. 

That was the Supreme Court of Canada’s finding in a 5-4 decision in the case of Wayne Singer. The matter began when two RCMP officers in the community of Big Island Lake Cree Nation in Saskatchewan responded to a complaint that he was driving while impaired. They saw a truck that matched the description in the complaint in a residential driveway, running with its lights on. Inside, they could see that Singer was either asleep or passed out.
