In Dagenais v. CBC, the Supreme Court of Canada set out a modified common law rule (referred to as the "Dagenais/Mentuck test") that would be used in future cases to establish the fairness of a trial in light of concerns about the potential impact of pre-trial publicity on the right to a fair trial. The test requires a delicate balance between the right to a fair trial and the freedom of expression, and considers factors such as the nature and extent of the pre-trial publicity, the time between the publicity and the trial, and the availability and effectiveness of measures to alleviate the effects of the publicity.
