Bijuralism and Bilingualism in Canada
The Role of the Federal Courts
From: The Federal Court of Appeal and the Federal Court
$4.60
In this chapter the authors examine the predominant role of the Federal Courts in the development of Canadian legal duality and, in particular, respect for the integrity of Quebec civil law in the exercise of its jurisdiction over federal law. As well as examining the evolving interpretation of language rights and the effects that the protection of these rights have on the way the Federal Courts deliver justice and participate in the full recognition of bilingualism in the federal public sector.
