What is the purpose of a s.15.2 order for a review of a claim made by a party to a claim of sexual assault?

New Brunswick, Canada


The following excerpt is from RL v NL, 2012 NBQB 123 (CanLII):

Indeed, identifying at the outset of the hearing the specific objective of this review was critical, in light of the arguments sought to be advanced by the parties, the breadth of the evidence proffered, and because the purpose is not explicit in the original Order: If the s. 15.2 court considers it essential … to identify an issue for future review, the issue should be tightly delineated in the s. 15.2 order. This is because on a “review” nobody bears an onus to show changed circumstances. Failure to tightly circumscribe the issue will inevitably be seen by one or other of the parties as an invitation simply to reargue their case. (Leskun v. Leskun, supra at para. 39) II. Preliminary Ruling
