Doucet-Boudreau v. Nova Scotia, 2003
From: The Court and the Charter
$0.90
A majority of the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that a trial judge who ordered the provincial government to use its best efforts to build French-language school facilities by given dates and then retained jurisdiction to hear progress reports on those efforts crafted a meaningful remedy for a breach of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms without drawing the court outside its proper role. The dissenting opinion stated that the judge illegitimately crossed the boundary between judicial acts and administrative oversight.
