R. v. Patrick Fox; Court of Appeal No. CA48145 [Patrick Fox; David Layton (BCPS)]

Court of Appeal No. CA48145
Dear Mr. Layton:
I was recently reviewing the transcript of my testimony in 244069-5-bc, and I noticed while cross-examining me Bernie Wolfe stated to the court:
"I gave formal document notice to Mr. Fox by way of letter...that Crown would seek to...tender a certified true copy of the oral ruling of...Justice Holmes..."2020-03-06 TR p102l15-20
Can I take that to mean the Crown is required to provide the defense formal notice of it's intention to offer, at trial, official documents such as court rulings/judgments, transcripts, et cetera? In particular, was Johnson required to provide me notice of his intention to rely on the documents he used in his cross-examination of me (namely the 2021-08-10 RFJ of Justice Fitch, and the transcript of the sentencing in 244069-6-B)?
This is actually one of the grounds that I was going to leave out of the factum due to space (30 page) limitations, because I was under the impression it would be a disclosure issue and, based on that, I thought the argument was not be very strong. But if there was a requirement to provide me formal notice, than that would make the argument stronger and maybe I should include it.
Patrick Fox
