This extensive revision of the landmark Leading Constitutional Decisions brings together recent Charter cases with the classical cases on the Canadian Constitution. An introductory essay traces the evolution and distinctive features of judicial review in Canada and includes references to the Constitution Act, 1982, and the important changes resulting from it.
This book is one of the best summaries of major Canadian constitutional enactments up to its date of publication. The presentation of cases in an excerpted format, rather than in full, enhances clarity and assists in identifying the critical elements of each case. In addition, the commentary and general linkages between cases assists greatly in understanding Canada's constitutional development. The only drawback is the book's age; it does not cover and constitutional developments following 1989.
