The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that a trove of files related to murder victims Barry and Honey Sherman be unsealed and opened to public access.
The unanimous decision found that trustees of the wealthy Toronto couple's estate failed to establish a major risk to their safety and privacy, and that public interest and the principle of open court proceedings require unlocking the files.
"In this case, the risks to privacy and physical safety cannot be said to be sufficiently serious," Justice Nicholas Kasirer wrote.
"The sealing orders should not have been issued. Open courts can be a source of inconvenience and embarrassment, but this discomfort is not, as a general matter, enough to overturn the strong presumption of openness."
In June 2018, a lower court judge issued an order protecting the files, which concern the appointment of estate trustees and would ordinarily be available for public inspection.

Okay, fellow history buffs, who else saw the headline and thought that this was going to be an intriguing story about the estate of William T. Sherman?
Me.
Wasn’t that about the time when several folks investigating or being investigated because of the Clintons died?
I recall thinking it was because of the Clintons.......
Still do, as a matter of fact.....
Yes, it was.
But of course, as we all know, “Arkancide” is a baseless conspiracy, just like the “stolen” 2020 election...
/yes, sarc.
Me.
And instead I am wondering what supreme court?
Hard to believe they still haven’t solved these murders.
It will likely be 50 blacked out pages because some of the speculation was Trudeau and the Liberal party may have had a hand in it.
I wonder what Sherman left Peabody in his estate?
