Legal boundaries around BDSM 'murky': experts Prince George Citizen Tue Oct 28 2014 Page: A14 Section: Canada Source: The Canadian Press Rough sex that inflicts pain is a murky legal area that can still lead to assault convictions in Canada, say legal experts. The legal boundaries around practices involving bondage, dominance, sadism and masochism, or BDSM, have become part of the public discussion since the CBC and radio star Jian Ghomeshi parted ways on Sunday. The prominent radio show host has said he was fired because of his "sexual behaviour" and has written on social media that he engaged in adventurous forms of sex that included role-play, dominance and submission, along with "rough sex (forms of BDSM)." The activities were consensual and he and his partner used "safe words" words to signal when to stop the activity, he said. Ghomeshi's lawyers filed a lawsuit against the CBC. The Toronto Star reported that it approached Ghomeshi with allegations from three women who say he was physically violent to them without their consent during sexual encounters or in the run-up to such encounters and that Ghomeshi - through his lawyer - responded that he "does not engage in non-consensual role play or sex and any suggestion of the contrary is defamatory." The Star reported none of the women filed police complaints. There are not a lot of clear answers when it comes to forms of BDSM and the law. Alan Young, a law professor at Osgoode Hall Law School at York University in Toronto, says existing legal precedents may allow prosecutions for BDSM-style sex - regardless of whether consent was received - if the courts think bodily harm occurred. A 1991 Supreme Court of Canada decision held that consent isn't a defence for a criminal act of assault where one of the perpetrators intends and causes bodily harm, he added. That decision was in the context of consensual street brawls, Young explained, and the boundary line for what's considered bodily harm is still being interpreted. "There have been cases of convictions for what might be called rough sex, but everything will turn on the facts because you have to know the intent of the accused and the extent of the injuries," he said. Brenda Cossman, a professor of law at the University of Toronto, said the law in Canada hasn't clearly dealt with BDSM practices such as "safe words," which are used in rough sex where the submissive partner has a code word to indicate they wish to practice to stop. "It's a very, very murky area," she said. In 1995, the Ontario Court of Appeal applied the Supreme Court of Canada decision to a case of sexual assault causing bodily harm and upheld a conviction, despite consent. "It could apply in a BDSM case," she said. "If there were ... permanent scars left, I would say that would be something the courts might consider to be bodily harm. ... No matter how much the person is consenting to it, the courts can still say, 'That's not something you're allowed to consent to.' " But she said the possibility of fresh legal interpretations remain. Ottawa lawyer Howard Krongold argued one of the leading cases on the limits of consent in the Supreme Court of Canada in 2011. The appeal involved a man accused of engaging in consensual sexual activity with his spouse, some of which occurred while she was unconscious. By a 6-3 majority, the Supreme Court held that her consent was not valid and upheld the accused's conviction. Krongold said if he were advising a client, he would urge considerable caution on practices that might be seen to cause harm, in light of existing court decisions. "Causing pain that lasts a little while or that is intense might be illegal, even with the explicit consent of both parties," he said in an email. "The line between the kinds of 'rough' sex people can consent to is pretty difficult to articulate: you're pretty safe with handcuffs, but in a lot of danger with riding crops." Andrea Zanin, a 36-year-old blogger who says she is a member of the BDSM community in Toronto, says it's a complicated issue. People who are dominant in a BDSM relationship - sometimes called "tops" - often worry about the limits they face, she said. "It's every top's worst nightmare that something they did they thought was OK would be misinterpreted and they would get in a lot of trouble," said Zanin, who publishes the Sexgeek blog. "We talk about consent a lot and it's a huge concern," she said. "And there is also a huge concern in the sado-masochistic community at the same time about people who use what we do as a cover for assault."

In the first decade of Charter litigation, many novel claims were advanced and resolved, yet there still remained a great deal of confusion with respect to the scope of the substantive principles and the procedural mechanisms for raising and applying them. After 35 years, most of the relevant constitutional principles have been solidified and clarified, as have the guidelines on the procedures for mounting a constitutional challenge.

ROSENBERG and MACPHERSON JJ.A.: [1] The appellant suffers from AIDS and requires marihuana for medicinal purposes to combat wasting syndrome and chemotherapy-induced nausea. For years, the appellant has fought for the right to possess marihuana legally. He believes that officials in the federal Ministry of Health have not been sufficiently attentive to his need for this medication. After an application to LaForme J., which resulted in an order for a temporary constitutional exemption from the operation of the possession and cultivation provisions of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Minister of Health gave the appellant an exemption under s. 56 of the Act. The appellant is not satisfied with this exemption. He believes it is too narrow because it does not exempt his caregivers from liability. He also believes that the federal government has a duty to make medicinal marihuana available to him, and other very sick people, and that the government is dragging its feet. [2] Accordingly, the appellant applied to the Superior Court of Justice for a declaration that his rights under s.

  • Legal Proceedings Available to Individuals Before the Highest Courts: a Comparative Law Perspective
    Legal Proceedings available to Individuals before the Highest Courts: A Comparative Law Perspective Canada STUDY EPRS | European Parliamentary Research Service Comparative Law Library Unit October 2017 - PE 608.733 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AVAILABLE TO INDIVIDUALS BEFORE THE HIGHEST COURTS: A COMPARATIVE LAW PERSPECTIVE Canada STUDY October 2017 Abstract This study is part of a wider project seeking to investigate, from a comparative law perspective, judicial proceedings available to individuals before the highest courts of different states, and before certain international courts. The aim of this study is to examine the various judicial proceedings available to individuals in Canadian law, and in particular before the Supreme Court of Canada. To this end, the text is divided into five parts. The introduction provides an overview of Canadian constitutional history, which explains the coexistence of rights derived from several legal traditions. It then introduces the federal system, the origins of constitutional review, as well as the court structure (I). As Canada practises a ‘diffuse’ (or ‘decentralized’) constitutional review process, the second part deals with the different types of proceedings available to individuals in matters of constitutional justice before both administrative and judicial courts, while highlighting proceedings available before the Supreme Court of Canada (II). This is followed by an examination of the constitutional and legal sources of individual — and in some cases collective — rights (III), as well as the means developed by the judiciary, the legislative, and the executive branches to ensure the effective judicial protection of rights (IV). The conclusion assesses the effectiveness of proceedings available to individuals in matters of ‘constitutional justice’.
