What are the elements of a charge containing five components?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Newton, 2017 ONCA 496 (CanLII):
A charge containing these five components best enables the jury to appreciate “the value and effect of that evidence, and how the law is to be applied to the facts as they find them” (emphasis in original). See Azoulay v. The Queen, 1952 CanLII 4 (SCC), [1952] 2 S.C.R. 495, at p. 498.
