In British Columbia, appointments of special prosecutors are governed by Section 7 "Special prosecutors" of the Crown Counsel Act, Chapter 87.

In military prosecutions in Canadian Armed Forces, Special Prosecutors are appointed in the circumstances of an actual or perceived conflict of interest during the prosecution. A Special Prosecutor is an officer of the Forces who is a member of the bar of a province in good standing and who is not a member of the Legal Branch of the Forces. [2]
