Kayla Doderai Publishes Column in The Saskatchewan Advocate: "Case Summary and Comment on R v Major, 2022 SKCA 80"

Kayla Doderai has published the column "Case Summary and Comment on R v Major, 2022 SKCA 80" in The Saskatchewan Advocate, October 2022 edition. The Saskatchewan Advocate is a quarterly publication by the Saskatchewan Trial Lawyers Association ("STLA"). STLA is a non-profit legal association describing themselves as "as a community of professionals dedicated to the pursuit of justice through education and advocacy".

Kayla's article summarizes and discusses the implications of the case of R v Major from the Court of Appeal for Saskatchewan. In offences that involve driving, detailed particulars regarding the mechanical use of the vehicle right before an accident or event occurs can be significant evidence. This case has now confirmed that there is no reasonable expectation to territorial or informational privacy with respect to the airbag control module (the “ACM”) or the event data recorder (the “EDR”) from a vehicle when the vehicle has been lawfully seized or in the process of being seized. The ACM and EDR data reveals nothing personal about an individual. However, such evidence requires expert testimony to ensure such evidence is reliable.

Kayla currently maintains a general litigation practice. Although Kayla has a focus on family law, she is involved in many different areas of practice such as estate litigation, civil litigation and defence work.
