Are there any cases where a trial judge asked questions on the subject of sexual orientation?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Strong v. General Motors of Canada Ltd., 1996 CanLII 8161 (ON SC):
39 It is not for me to say whether the trial judge will take a similar approach in this action. It is however quite possible that he or she will do so and questions on the subject therefore meet the test of semblance of relevancy established by Kay v. Posluns (1989), 1989 CanLII 4297 (ON SC), 71 O.R. (2d) 238 (H.C.).
