THE CURIOUS CASE OF A SECRET TRIAL IN QUEBEC

MONTREAL — The chief judge of Quebec court has filed a motion with the Court of Appeal to get information under seal regarding a so-called secret trial held in the province and about which even she has been kept in the dark.

In a court application filed Monday, a lawyer representing Judge Lucie Rondeau said the judge has been unable to learn whether the case was heard at the provincial court level.

The trial's existence only became public because the police informant accused in the case appealed his or her conviction, and the appeals court issued a heavily redacted ruling at the end of February critical of the lower court proceedings.
