Canadian Constitutional Law #2: Underlying Principles of the Constitution Saturday, Sep 23 2006
1L and Canadian Constitutional Law and Erin Morgan and McGill Faculty of Law 10:55 pm
If important parts of the constitution are unwritten, what are the sources of these informal componants? In this episode, I discuss the Supreme Court Reference Regarding the Secession of Quebec (1998), a document in which the supreme court identifies four principles underlying the constitution. We then look at the Montfont Hospital case as an example of how later court cases have relied on the secession reference.
