  • A Rare View Into 1980S Top Court
    A rare view into 1980s top court New book reveals frustrations, divisions among the judges on the Supreme Court By KIRK MAKIN JUSTICE REPORTER Thursday, December 4, 2003- Page A11 An unprecedented trove of memos by Supreme Court of Canada judges in the late 1980s reveals a highly pressured environment in which the court's first female judge threatened to quit while another judge was forced out after plunging into a state of depression. The internal memos -- quoted in a new book about former chief justice Brian Dickson -- provide a rare view into the inner workings of the country's top court, which showed itself to be badly divided at the time. The book portrays a weary bench, buried under a growing pile of complex cases and desperately worried about its eroding credibility. One faction complained bitterly about their colleagues' dithering and failure to come to grips with their responsibilities, according to memos seen for the first time by the authors of Brian Dickson: A Judge's Journey. The authors -- Mr. Justice Robert Sharpe of the Ontario Court of Appeal and University of Toronto law professor Kent Roach -- also interviewed many former judges and ex-clerks privy to the inner workings of the court at arguably the lowest point in its history. "The court was struggling with very difficult issues under very difficult circumstances at the time," Prof. Roach said yesterday. "It was a court that had an incredible amount on its plate and, in retrospect, we were well served by that court." The chief agitators were Mr. Justice Antonio Lamer and Madam Justice Bertha Wilson.

  • NB: the Following Is a Pre-Publication Copy of an Article Scheduled to Appear in Vol
    1 [NB: The following is a pre-publication copy of an article scheduled to appear in vol. 51:2 of the Osgoode Hall Law Journal (winter 2014).] Philip Girard, “A Tempest in a Transatlantic Teapot: A Legal Historian’s Critical Analysis of La Bataille de Londres” On 8 April 2013 Les Édition du Boréal released a book by Frédéric Bastien entitled La Bataille de Londres: Dessous, secrets, et coulisses du rapatriement constitutionnel. In it, Bastien retold the patriation saga of 1978-82 using new evidence from the United Kingdom, mainly British diplomatic correspondence obtained through freedom of information requests. While the book shed new light on the politics of the patriation process, especially on the British side, it was Bastien’s allegations about the activities of two judges on the Supreme Court of Canada that immediately garnered front-page headlines in the English and French media.1 Bastien alleged that Chief Justice Laskin and Justice W.Z. ‘Bud’ Estey had had back-channel communications with the federal and British authorities before and during the Patriation reference, improprieties that, in Bastien’s view, rendered the opinion null and void and the constitutional deal of 1981-82 illegitimate. For Dr Bastien, the actions of Pierre Trudeau coupled with those of the judges amounted to nothing less than a coup d’état that aimed to overturn the existing constitutional order.2 The purpose of this article is to argue that, with one exception, Dr Bastien is mistaken in his interpretation of the judges’ conduct, and that in the one case where there is some cause for concern, any impropriety would have no effect on the validity of the Patriation Reference or the constitutional accord arrived at in the fall of 1981.

  • Review of Emmett Hall: Establishment Radical
    A JUDICIAL LOUDMOUTH WITH A QUIET LEGACY: A REVIEW OF EMMETT HALL: ESTABLISHMENT RADICAL DARCY L. MACPHERSON* n the revised and updated version of Emmett Hall: Establishment Radical, 1 journalist Dennis Gruending paints a compelling portrait of a man whose life’s work may not be directly known by today’s younger generation. But I Gruending makes the point quite convincingly that, without Emmett Hall, some of the most basic rights many of us cherish might very well not exist, or would exist in a form quite different from that on which Canadians have come to rely. The original version of the book was published in 1985, that is, just after the patriation of the Canadian Constitution, and the entrenchment of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,2 only three years earlier. By 1985, cases under the Charter had just begun to percolate up to the Supreme Court of Canada, a court on which Justice Hall served for over a decade, beginning with his appointment in late 1962. The later edition was published two decades later (and ten years after the death of its subject), ostensibly because events in which Justice Hall had a significant role (including the Canadian medicare system, the Supreme Court’s decision in the case of Stephen Truscott, and claims of Aboriginal title to land in British Columbia) still had currency and relevance in contemporary Canadian society. Despite some areas where the new edition may be considered to fall short which I will mention in due course, this book was a tremendous read, both for those with legal training, and, I suspect, for those without such training as well.

A Tempest in a Transatlantic Teapot: A Legal Historian’s Critical Analysis of Frédéric Bastien’s La Bataille de Londres Abstract This review discussed the allegations in Frederic Bastien’s book La Bataille de Londres, to the effect that two Supreme Court of Canada judges had improper communications with British and Canadian authorities before and after the hearing of the Patriation Reference. It analyzes in detail the five incidents upon which the allegations are based, and finds that the author’s interpretation cannot be supported in four of them because of faulty interpretation of the evidence or incomplete research. The fifth incident, in which Chief Justice Laskin met with the English attorney general, is found to have been arguably inappropriate judicial behaviour, but to have no effect in law on the ultimate decision in the Patriation Reference.

  • Institutional Legitimacy, Strategic Decision Making and the Supreme Court of Canada
    Between Activism and Restraint: Institutional Legitimacy, Strategic Decision Making and the Supreme Court of Canada by Vuk Radmilovic A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto Copyright by Vuk Radmilovic (2011) Between Activism and Restraint: Institutional Legitimacy, Strategic Decision Making and the Supreme Court of Canada Vuk Radmilovic Doctor of Philosophy Political Science University of Toronto (2011) ABSTRACT: Over the last couple of decades or so, comparative public law scholars have been reporting a dramatic increase in the power and influence of judicial institutions worldwide. One obvious effect of this “judicialization of politics” is to highlight legitimacy concerns associated with the exercise of judicial power. Indeed, how do courts attain and retain their legitimacy particularly in the context of their increasing political relevance? To answer this question I develop a novel theory of strategic legitimacy cultivation. The theory is developed through an application of the institutionalist branch of the rational choice theory which suggests that institutional structures, rules, and imperatives provide behavioural incentives and disincentives for relevant actors who respond by acting strategically in order to attain favourable outcomes. The theory shows that courts cultivate legitimacy by exhibiting strategic sensitivities to factors operating in the external, political environment. In particular, legitimacy cultivation requires courts to devise decisions that are sensitive to the state of public opinion, that avoid overt clashes and entanglements with key political actors, that do not overextend the outreach of judicial activism, and that employ politically sensitive jurisprudence. The theory is tested in the context of the Supreme Court of Canada through a mixed-method research design that combines a quantitative analysis of a large number of cases, case-study approaches, and cross- policy comparisons.

THE SUPREME COURT OF CANADA History of the Institution Unknown and uncelebrated by the public, overshadowed and frequently overruled by the Privy Council, the Supreme Court of Canada before 1949 occupied a rather humble place in Canadian jurisprudence as an intermediate court of appeal. Today its name more accurately reflects its function: it is the court of ultimate appeal and the arbiter of Canada's constitutionalquestions. Appointment to its bench is the highest achieve- ment to which a member of the legal profession can aspire. This history traces the development of the Supreme Court of Canada from its establishment in the earliest days following Confederation, through itsattainment of independence from the Judicial Committeeof the Privy Council in 1949, to the adoption of the Constitution Act, 1982.
