CONSTITUTIONAL LAW – CHARTER OF RIGHTS

Dwight Newman, K.C., B.A., M.A.T.S., J.D., M.Sc., B.C.L., M.Phil., D.Phil.

The impact of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms on virtually every field of law is beyond debate, as is the importance of an authoritative resource that lawyers can turn to for a clear explanation of its application and interpretation.

Constitutional Law – Charter of Rights discusses the scope and application of the Charter, and its interpretation by Canadian courts.

Topics covered include:

  • Interactions with the Canadian Bill of Rights
  • Principles of interpretation
  • Application to government action and extraterritorial application
  • Limitation of rights
  • Section 33 constitutional override
  • Rights and freedoms protected
  • Enforcement of Charter rights and remedies

    CONSTITUTIONAL LAW – DIVISION OF POWERS

    Guy Régimbald, B.S.Sc., LL.B., B.C.L. (Oxon.) & John J. Wilson, B.A (Hons.), J.D., B.C.L.

    Canada's constitution creates two distinct levels of legislative authority. It is therefore of critical importance to know which subject areas are within the exclusive jurisdiction of Parliament, which are strictly matters for the provincial legislatures, and which are areas of both federal and provincial jurisdiction.

    Constitutional Law – Division of Powers illuminates the complex interaction between the written and unwritten elements of the constitution, together with the common law and practices, customs and conventions that have shaped our modern legal system.

    Topics covered include:

  • Sources of constitutional law and institutions
  • Constitutional conventions and unwritten principles of the constitution
  • Courts, independence of the judiciary and judicial review
  • Constitutional interpretation
  • Peace, order and good government
  • Criminal law – federal and provincial jurisdiction
  • The regulation of trade and commerce
  • The raising of revenue, the spending power and federal authority in relation to banking, bankruptcy and interest
  • Works and undertakings, communications and transportation, and labour relations
  • Property and civil rights and provincial authority in relation to local and private matters
