In what circumstances has the Charter of Human Rights been expanded by the Court of Appeal?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Sweeten v. Sweeten, 1996 CanLII 2972 (BC SC):

In Seddon v. Seddon his Lordship considered that the discretion has been expanded by the Charter. I certainly agree that this is so in cases where the Charter applies.

The learned judge in Seddon v. Seddon condemned the practice of which the petitioner in that case had engaged in. He said at pp.12-13: I am of the opinion that it is not desirable to encourage the surreptitious recording of household conversations, particularly so when it is done in the family home and the conversations are between family members. This is an odious practice.
