In a 5-2 decision, the ruling makes it clear that companies cannot use federal bankruptcy law to avoid regulations requiring them to pay for abandoned well cleanup. #scoc #cdnpoli #abpoli #aer #oilsands #oilpatch

One day this person or someone they love will be accused of a crime. And then they will be grateful that there are dedicated defence counsel like you out there.

The law of bail may be Wagner CJ’s most significant achievement thus far (he also wrote St Cloud and Antic). And whatever criticisms one has for St Cloud, the decisions in #Antic and #Myers are ground-breaking. #cdnlaw #scc

The Côté J dissent in #Chouhan is 🔥🔥🔥. The lead decision, on the other hand, suggests that we can deal with potentially racist jurors with a mid-trial instruction "don't be racist".

This decision will make it very difficult for bail courts in this province to ignore COVID-19 related arguments. This was a bail pending leave to SCC application. Ordinarily, bail is rare in these circumstances. Ergo, COVID-19 is a game-changer.

I find the convoy leaders despicable. Many are bigots. But our constitutional rights are worth more than sending them a political message.

A little arbitrary detention for a few hours? No problem. We’ll fix that at the station. This guy was denied right to counsel for 5 hours in the back of a police cruiser? No big deal – we’ll give him counsel of his choice later on. 18/

The @SCC_eng has granted leave in R v Sharma. It’s disappointing that the feds chose to seek leave to appeal, but we will redouble our efforts to ensure that Feldman JA’s excellent judgment becomes the law of the land.

The trajectory of the @SCC_eng bail-related decisions show that the Court has gradually become more aware of realities of bail. There is a night & day difference between St-Cloud and this decision.

R. v. Zora - this is such a clear affirmation of the requirement of subjective mens rea & problems of too onerously imposing bail terms not connected to managing public safety risk. Plus a unanimous Supreme Court is a nice change from decisions as of late.

Important decision. Goodman J finds that accused might not have been released in “normal times” but that COVID-19 pandemic is a game changer. Along with Copeland J.’s decision in J.S., this decision is a “must cite” going forward.
