What is the effect of not specifically asking the complainant specifically about the conversation?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from R. v. W.L., 2019 ONSC 1812 (CanLII):

That the complainant was not asked specifically about the conversation left her without the ability to deny, correct or otherwise explain the discussion. It strikes me as a clear contravention of the rule in Browne v. Dunn.
