Application by several media organizations for television and radio access to a criminal trial. The organizations also applied for a declaration that a court policy that restricted media access to trials was inconsistent with the right of freedom of the press contained in section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The former premier of British Columbia, Clark, was charged along with the accused Pilarinos. The Crown alleged that Pilarinos improved Clark's property in exchange for his assistance to obtain a casino license. The policy allowed radio and television coverage of trials only if the parties consented.
