List of judgments deemed to be part of a book of authorities in penal matters (s. 43 R.C.A.Q.P.M.)
In accordance with s. 43 of the Regulation of the Court of Appeal of Quebec in Penal matters (R.C.A.Q.P.M.), the Court publishes a list of judgments that parties are exempt from including in their book of authorities. The case law included in this list is deemed to be part of the book of authorities. The Court is familiar with these judgments, which are frequently relied on before it. However, if a party wishes to draw the attention of the Court to one or more of these judgments, it may limit itself to including relevant excerpts (along with the preceding and succeeding pages) together with the headnote of the judgment (if available) (s. 42 para. 4 R.C.A.Q.P.M.).
This list does not constitute an exhaustive list of relevant judgments for any particular subject matter, nor an opinion in that regard.
