The rationale for judicial case management was a
simple one: a
shared need to provide better service at reduced cost to the public, by reducing delays and increasing the efficiency of the
justice system.
In R. v. Cuttell, Pringle J. of the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice considered whether the police violated section 8 of the Charter by obtaining the identity of an individual suspected of possessing and
sharing child pornography through a
simple letter request to an ISP.
