The Supreme Court of Canada has partly upheld an appeal from the media regarding a so-called secret trial in Quebec involving a police informant. The court admonished the Quebec Court of Appeal for 'misguidedly' accusing a lower court of holding a secret trial, clarifying that no such trial occurred. The case, which was conducted away from the public eye, was ruled not to be a 'secret trial' by the Supreme Court.
