Canadian legal cases

Canadian legal cases often revolve around interpreting laws and protecting rights. Key cases address issues like freedom of expression, Indigenous rights, and the criminal justice system. For example, the R v. Oakes case established a test for determining whether a law unjustly infringes on rights found in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Others, like the Delgamuukw case, affirmed Indigenous land rights. These cases contribute to developing legal precedents, guiding future decisions, and shaping Canadian society by balancing individual rights with public interests. Understanding these cases helps clarify how justice operates in Canada.
