A judge has decided the media can publish details of intimate partner violence allegations against Dennis Oland.
In her decision released Thursday, Chief Justice of Court of Queen s Bench Tracey DeWare said the media can publish a transcript of a complaint made by Lisa Andrik-Oland, but only after 14 days have passed. The delay is to give lawyers a chance to appeal the decision.

She said there s public interest in reporting on the evidence and findings, so that the public may assess whether the order was properly issued.
Andrik-Oland s lawyer Martha McCarthy said sometimes the open court principle hampers access to justice, as in cases of sexual assault where victims don t come forward out of fear their complaint will be made public.
McCarthy also said the details should remain under a publication ban to maintain her client s privacy. She s entitled to finality and privacy, McCarthy said. [She] didn t ask for any of this.
