Judges - Resignation

. R. v. Swaine

In R. v. Swaine (Ont CA, 2025) the Ontario Court of Appeal considered a Crown criminal appeal, here on adequate reasons grounds where the trial judge retired before issuing promised written reasons.

The case (which is 23 paragraphs long) is illustrative of procedural difficulties this situation may precipitate, particularly regarding (absolute?) privilege.
