In the Phillips case.Cory J. noted that the Attorney General for Nova Scotia frankly acknowledged that if the public inquiry was allowed to proceed it might, due to Charter considerations, jeopardize or frustrate the subsequent successful prosecution of any crime discovered.The Law Society in the case before me took a somewhat similar position and acknowledged that if the disciplinary proceeding before me is allowed to proceed, it has a similar potential to jeopardize or frustrate any subsequent criminal proceeding that may be taken.
Dans l'affaire Phillips [.] Cory J. fait remarquer que le procureur général de la Nouvelle-Écosse a reconnu franchement que si l'on autorisait la tenue de l'enquête publique, celle-ci risquait, pour des considérations relatives à la Charte, de compromettre ou d'entraver toute poursuite subséquente advenant la découverte d'un acte criminel.
