In what circumstances will the court find that M.H. H. was not a "conflict of interest" in her defence in the context of her mental health case?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from R. v. Smith (Vetrovec), 2010 ONSC 6628 (CanLII):

M.H. did not deny her difficulties, show any false bravado or openly or wilfully mislead the court. In terms of the quotation from Kehler v. The Queen, supra, M.H. may be a consumer of drugs, but is not an accomplice, a confirmed liar, or a drug dealer".
