Charter Challenges

Charter challenges refer to legal actions taken to question the constitutionality of laws or government actions under a country's charter or constitution, such as the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Individuals or groups believe their rights have been violated, so they seek a court ruling to address this issue. If successful, the court may strike down the law, requiring the government to change it or stop certain practices. These challenges are crucial for upholding rights and freedoms, ensuring that laws align with constitutional principles.
