The opening address made in a case before trial can set the tone for the trial and its outcome. The importance of a fair and professional opening address is seen in a recent criminal case : http://www.canlii.org/en/on/onsc/doc/2015/2015onsc3823/2015onsc3823.html
In that case, the opening address of the Crown Attorney was deemed to be “inflammatory” by the defence counsel who made a motion for a mistrial. The motion was granted by the court who used this remedy of “last resort”.
