L.L.A. et al. v. Beharriell (1995)

Download factum:

This case dealt with whether counseling records could be ordered as evidence in sexual assault cases in order to determine the credibility of the witness. At the Supreme Court of Canada, LEAF intervened, in coalition with the Aboriginal Women's Council, the Canadian Association of Sexual Assault Centres, the DisAbled Women's Network of Canada, arguing that the use of counseling records in sexual assault cases denies women's equality rights and security of the person.

The Court ruled that private records could not be ordered to determine credibility of the witness.
