Section Thirteen of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
- Section Thirteen of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Section Thirteen of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a section of the Charter which, along with section 11 (c), specifies rights regarding self-incrimination.
It reads:
Rights against self-incrimination had existed in Canadian law even before the Charter, but these applied to cases in which an individual might incriminate him or herself while giving testimony in another person's trial. Since the enactment of the Charter, the right has been extended in case law in regard to retrials, to exclude from one's retrial self-incriminating evidence if it had been obtained during cross examination in the last trial. [Morton, F.L. and Rainer Knopff. "The Charter Revolution & the Court Party". Toronto: Broadview Press, 2000, page 47.]
This section is also similar the the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
