New Disclosure Case — Drug Recognition Expert/Standard Field Sobriety Test Manuals ordered disclosed to the defence.

Selected Case 

Rona hardware operated an overflow yard containing trailers. The yard was physically controlled only by a locked piece of chain across the entrance. There were no fences or other barriers to movement into the yard, which was supervised by security guards and television cameras. The Appellants were charged with Break and Enter and Theft after breaking the chain and backing up a tractor to the yard. Nothing was stolen. The trial judge found that the yard was a "place" for purposes of Break and Enter within s. 348(3) of the Criminal Code, and convicted them. The Alberta Court of Appeal, however, reversed the acquittal, holding that for purposes of Break and Enter, "place" did not include a parking lot: R. v. Ausland (2010), 2010 CarswellAlta 95 (Alta. C.A.).
