Is it appropriate to order disclosure of the names of witnesses in a human trafficking case?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from United States v. Churuk, 2013 ONCA 330 (CanLII):
Finally, ordering disclosure of the names of the witnesses would give the appellants a degree of disclosure that would exceed their entitlement under the procedural laws of Pennsylvania: see USA v. Michaelov, at para. 61. The sensible purpose of this disclosure policy is to protect the safety of the victims in human trafficking cases.
