The courts have shown great reluctance to define the term "person in authority", preferring to proceed on a case by case basis .... The majority of the Task Force therefore recommends a general definition -- "a person in authority is someone having authority over the accused in relation to a criminal proceeding" -- leaving it to the courts to determine in each particular case whether the authority exists.
