How has the court in Nova Scotia dealt with an allegation of sexual assault in a single case?
The following excerpt is from People v. Douglass, 456 N.E.2d 1179, 469 N.Y.S.2d 56, 60 N.Y.2d 194 (N.Y. 1983):
Defendants were arraigned on July 18 and the case was adjourned until July 24 to allow the prosecutor to file supporting affidavits. [456 N.E.2d 1181] Subsequent adjournments were requested by all parties and on August 12 the court papers were marked final for conversion. When the parties appeared on August 26 and the prosecutor had not yet converted the complaint to an information, the court dismissed the charges for "negligent process of cases". Sealing of the records was ordered 31 days hence.
