R v O.N.E. was a legal case heard in 2001 before the Supreme Court of Canada. It was an appeal against a ban on publication of details of the police investigation of a murder case. The appeal was allowed.
Finding
[edit]Judge Iacobucci J. wrote for a unanimous Court that the appeal raised substantially similar issues to those considered by the Court in R v Mentuck. He concluded that the publication ban sought should not have been ordered by the trial judge in light of the appropriate common law test for a publication ban. The appeal was therefore allowed. The publication ban, which was varied by the Court, was declared effective for a period of one year following the release of this judgment, because by that time, the operations in which the police officers were then involved should be completed.[2]
