Section 7

There will be two presentations this week that we will discuss:

"The Chaoulli decision is a really bad legal decision: it is full of poor analysis and it is a dangerous venture beyond the proper role of the Court"

"Justice Arbour's minority reasons on the s. 7 Charter issues in Gosselin are terrific and should be adopted by the Supreme Court in a future case. The meaning of 'liberty and security of the person' in s. 7 should be broadened exactly as she suggests."


As usual, please feel free to refer to other cases.


Chaoulli v. Quebec (Attorney General), [2005] 1 S.C.R. 791.

Gosselin v. Quebec (Attorney General), [2002] 4 S.C.R. 429.
