R. v. Pan; R. v. Sawyer, 2001 SCC 42 (CanLII) (16656 words) |
 | 649 of the Code was to prevent accused persons from establishing an evidentiary basis for arguing that they were deprived of their constitutional right to a trial by an impartial and independent tribunal. |
| 649, Finlayson J.A. concluded that its purpose was at least partly to prevent the disclosure of information concerning jury deliberations to the press, and that it was not a codification of the common law rule. |
| 649 seek to prevent disclosure by different means, and arguably for different reasons, they both aim to preserve the confidentiality of the core of jury deliberations. |
