Colton Fehr (University of Saskatchewan - College of Law) has posted Book Review of Search and Seizure by Robert Diab and Chris Hunt (2025) (47 Manitoba Law Journal (forthcoming)) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
This book review discusses Robert Diab and Chris Hunt's recent book publication, "Search and Seizure." Irwin Law’s “Essentials” series is deservedly among the most populous on bookshelves in Canadian law schools, libraries, and offices. While the series typically provides concise overviews of broad topics like criminal or constitutional law, it more recently has begun to include editions on particularly complex constitutional rights protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.1 Professors Robert Diab and Chris Hunt’s recent addition on the protection against unreasonable search and seizure provided in section 8 of the Charter falls into the latter category. Their contribution is most welcome given the rapidly evolving nature of the jurisprudence interpreting and applying this notoriously complex right. In light of these challenges, Justice Martin captures the contribution made by the book perfectly in her foreword: “this excellent book… provides a precise and digestible presentation of the right to privacy and the jurisprudence interpreting section 8 of the… Charter 2."
