This book is a valuable resource for legal practitioners and scholars interested in current issues relating to equality rights litigation in Canada. Over the past decade, a number of decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada have revised the way that section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is applied to legislation and government action, leaving the jurisprudence shifting and uncertain. This volume delves into many of the resulting difficulties and offers strategies for litigators as well as carving our issues for future academic research.

Contributors include leading scholars of equality and members of prominent advocacy groups for equality rights in Canada whose litigation efforts have helped to share the concepts of substantive equality and discrimination.
