Is a transcript of evidence required for cross-examination in an appeal?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Pozdin, 1971 CanLII 800 (SK CA):
It is quite clear from the statute that a transcript of the evidence taken before the magistrate is not essential to the appeal and the thrust of the amendment suggests that most appeals may proceed without it. As Ritchie J. observed in Regina v. Dennis, supra, apart from s. 727 the only reference to the transcript will be for the purpose of cross-examination and, useful as it may be for that purpose, the statute does not require it as essential to the appeal.
