Charter . s.8 Search and Seizure - Reasonable Expectation of Privacy - General

. R. v. Attard

In R. v. Attard (Ont CA, 2024) the Ontario Court of Appeal considered Charter s.8 ['search and seizure'] and s.24(2) ['exclusion of evidence'], here while assessing a CCC 489 issue regarding the seizure of a car's airbag deployment data in a Crown appeal.

Here the court sets out the main types of privacy interests for Charter s.8 purposes:
[60] Three broad categories of privacy interests have emerged over time: territorial, personal, and informational: R. v. El-Azrak, 2023 ONCA 440, at para. 30; R. v. Spencer, 2014 SCC 43, at para. 38.
