Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Canadian Broadcasting Corporation v. Nova Scotia (Attorney General), 2010 NSSC 295 (CanLII):
It seems that American courts would have little difficulty with an assertion that the executive can exercise control over a court's records. There, each court "has supervisory power over its own records and files": Nixon v. Warner Communications, 435 U.S. 589 at 598 (1978).
