Protecting an informant with a secret court? What a surprise in creepy covert Canada. The only reason the public has learned about this is because he appealed.
I've been warning America, many Canadians would qualify for asylum in ways Americans would be surprised to hear about...
Members of Quebec's legal community say a trial that took place in complete secrecy, with no paper trail, has violated the fundamental principles of justice on which the court system is based.
The trial, whose existence was first reported by the French-language online newspaper La Presse on Friday, is referred to only as "Dossier X."
The case was conducted covertly with the approval of the Crown prosecutors involved, the presiding judge and defence counsel.
Where and when the trial took place, along with the names of the defendant and the presiding judge, have been deliberately excluded from the public record.
No witnesses were called to the stand: they were interviewed outside the courtroom, and a transcript of their testimony was presented in court.
The case had no case number and was never filed in the province's judicial archives. On paper, it never happened.
The trial only came to light because the defendant chose to appeal the verdict, flagging the case to Quebec's Court of App
