Is a toxicology report admissible under rule 30.01 of the Canada Evidence Act?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from R v. Thomas, 2014 ONSC 7544 (CanLII):
Strictly speaking, it does not appear that a pretrial ruling on the admissibility of the toxicology report, by itself, would be required by rule 30.01 because the evidence is not presumptively inadmissible by a common law rule or other rule of admissibility. By itself the toxicology report would be admissible under the rule in Ares v. Venner or under s. 30 of the Canada Evidence Act.
