The question before us is whether those negotiated amounts should be disclosed or whether they are protected by settlement privilege. (slaw.ca)
Settlement privilege extends beyond documents and communications expressly designated to be «without prejudice». (slaw.ca)
I conclude, therefore, that settlement privilege does not apply to prohibit the disclosure of factual information provided to the Crown in respect of a proposed criminal prosecution in circumstances where the person providing that information does so with the knowledge that the Crown intends to rely on some or all of that information for the purposes of that criminal prosecution.
