Video From Criminal Investigation to be Produced in Civil Proceedings In G., N. v. Upper Canada College, the Ontario Court of Appeal declined to grant a stay of an Order holding that a videotape of a statement of an accused taken shortly after his arrest had to be produced to a plaintiff in civil proceedings arising out of the same allegations (sexual assault). The civil trial was scheduled to proceed in advance of the criminal trial and the Crown was seeking to stay an Order requiring production. The appeal on the merits of the decision is still to be heard.

Judge's Questions Result in New Trial A Trial Judge who made hundreds of interruptions and questions of witnesses in a trial resulted in the judgement being overturned on appeal. The Ontario Court of Appeal stated:
"In the present case, the trial judge crossed the line set out in Majcenic. The questions were not only numerous but were of such a character as to amount to an unwarranted interference with counsel's conduct of the trial. The trial judge effectively took the case into his own hands and out of the hands of counsel"

Long Arm - not in Oz Further to my recent post, I am glad to see that the Australian magistrate has blocked the attempted extradition of an Australian to the U.S. to face criminal copyright charges. If he has broken the law, he should be charged in Australia. If he hasn't broken local law, he should not face criminal liability in the U.S.

KM and Blogs Dave Pollard on KM and Blogs:
Together, these ten statements -- about trust, stories, conversations, experimental incremental improvement of tools, top-down knowledge transfer, human agency, the inherently personal and individual nature of learning and innovation and work, the unfeasibility of teamwork and collaboration, communities as merely collections of one-to-one connections, learning and teaching by thinking out loud, conversation as process not content, blogs as open-ended conversations with people with know-who, knowledge as both personal and social, and the transience and 'self-organizability' of knowledge and blogs -- distil the essence of a decade of critical learnings about knowledge in business, about blogs, and about how we learn and do work.
