Product affidavit submitted to get these court orders sought by crown op protect public from reviewing content of the affidavit: non-publication order (publication ban) Production order undermines their role of reporters if u give up sources they aren"t protected and not taken seriously can ruin credibility. 2nd collision sealing order + redaction order, appellant attempt to gain access to information that had a production order on it the crown did not want vice media to access affidavit they used to make their point. Heart of media ethic (freedom of press) The material that was not redacted had a production order so limited public and press from understand why the police had the right to do this. All three challenged by ben and vice. Outcome (sealing order) appeal was allowed in part all three order have specific outcome.
