Principes généraux

Une ordonnance de production est une autorisation judiciaire qui oblige une personne, y compris une organisation, à divulguer des documents et des dossiers à un agent de la paix autorisé.

Par rapport aux mandats de recherche

Une ordonnance de production ne peut pas être utilisée pour contourner un mandat de perquisition standard afin de porter atteinte à la vie privée d'un accusé.

Les articles 487.012 et 487.013 (avant 2015) sont entrés en vigueur le 15 septembre 2004.

Procédure

Contrairement aux mandats, il n'est pas nécessaire de déposer un rapport à la justice lors de la saisie des dossiers.

Revocation or Variance for Reasons of Protected Information

Section 487.0193(4)(b) permits a judge to revoke or vary an order where the order would disclose information that is "privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure by law."

Protection From Liability

For greater certainty

487.0195 (1) For greater certainty, no preservation demand, preservation order or production order is necessary for a peace officer or public officer to ask a person to voluntarily preserve data that the person is not prohibited by law from preserving or to voluntarily provide a document to the officer that the person is not prohibited by law from disclosing.

No civil or criminal liability

(2) A person who preserves data or provides a document in those circumstances does not incur any criminal or civil liability for doing so.

Self-incrimination

487.0196 No one is excused from complying with an order made under any of sections 487.014 to 487.018 on the ground that the document that they are required to produce may tend to incriminate them or subject them to a proceeding or penalty. However, no document that an individual is required to prepare may be used or received in evidence against them in a criminal proceeding that is subsequently instituted against them, other than a prosecution for an offence under section 132 [parjure – punition], 136 [témoin donnant un témoignage contradictoire] or 137 [fabriquer des preuves].
2014, c. 31, s. 20.

Production by Consent

Where documents are voluntarily and lawfully provided to a peace officer who is executing his duties, there is no need for a production order.

Section 25 protects those acting in authority from criminal liability.

Sealing Orders

• Sealing and Unsealing Judicial Authorizations

Costs

A company that is subject to a production order will normally have to bear the costs involved with producing the records.

The authorizing justice does not have power to order that the target of the production order be compensated for the cost associated with compliance.
