Does a plea of guilty constitute an estoppel against the prosecution from requiring the prosecution to adduce evidence?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Binns, 1941 CanLII 127 (SK QB):
Rex v. Brook seems clear authority for the appellant’s right to object, even after a plea of guilty, to the power to pass the regulations under which he was punished. The cases all decide that a plea of guilty acts as an estoppel against the accused from requiring the prosecution to adduce evidence.
