Law360 Canada ( September 9, 2025, 10:44 AM EDT) -- Appeal by Unrau from a voir dire finding that there was no breach of his rights under s. 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Charter) and a finding that police made full and fair disclosure in an Information to Obtain (ITO). Unrau was convicted on three counts of possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking and one count of possession of stolen property. He was charged after police executed a search warrant on his rented apartment. Much of the information used to obtain the search warrant was gathered by police while they stood in the hall outside his apartment unit or observed the hall from the building’s parking lot. In a pretrial voir dire, Unrau challenged the validity of the search warrant arguing a breach of his s. 8 Charter rights. He also argued that the police failed to make full, fair and frank disclosure in the ITO. Unrau’s challenge to the search warrant was dismissed. The voir dire judge held there was no s. 8 breach and that police met the standard of full, fair and frank disclosure when preparing the ITO. On appeal, Unrau argued that the police violated his s. 8 Charter rights when they entered common areas of his apartment building and made observations which were then used to obtain a search warrant to search his apartment and that Const. Villeneuve, who swore the ITO, did not make full and frank disclosure or fulfill his duty of candour to the court in his ITO....
